Placement of y in a sentence using futur procheI thought there was a rule that "y" should come before the verb (including auxiliary verb). There seems to be an exception when using the futur proche? For example: Je vais y reflechir rather than J'y vais reflechir.

la fois dernière v. la dernière foisComme vous, le français n'est pas ma langue maternelle, mai enfin je le parle chaque jour. Alors, je n'ai jamais entendu dire "la fois dernière". En tout cas, je l'ai googlé et trouvé l'expression tel quel dans les actualités. Mais jamais dans le language quotidiens. Pour moi, ça grince!

Vendredi and Le VendrediHi, I'm having a problem understanding why "Pierre is taking the train on Friday" is wrong. I see the correct answer is "Pierrs takes the train on Fridays", but the "explain this" is not really explaining it for me as the only difference is the "le" vendredi. Can you explain why please when you get a chance. Thanks a mil, Celine
