It's said "Je suis assis entre Léa et Tim" above.
Firstly; Is there a present continuous form in french?
And why do we use "être" in this sentence?
Why does the question asking for the conjugation of s'asseoir mark the answer "Nous nous assoyons" in favour of "Nous nous asseyons" when according to the LESSON on this subject provides both conjugations ?
I gave elle s’assoit avec son fils but this was corrected to elle s’assois which isn’t the 3rd person .
Hello, on the site it is written "assoyiais" for the 1st Person Plural Imperfect - modern form. Shouldn't it be assoyions?

Which of the conjugations of s'asseoir is the most commonly used?
Is the the use of future simple here common in daily French? My understanding is that the use of the reflexive implies the action of sitting down, rather than the idea of being seated somewhere. Would a more natural way of expressing this be:
Dans l'Eurostar, vous serez assis près de la porte.
I realize they have different meanings, but it seems a bit odd to refer to the action of sitting down in this context.

How would you say "Ben will sit at that desk until after he's finished his homework." ?Ben restera assis à ce bureau jusqu'à ce qu'il ait fini ses devoirs.Ben restera assis à ce bureau jusqu'à ce qu'il finisse ses devoirs.
There is something odd about this question and about the claimed correct answer. You pose the question using the 'old' form of the verb (s'asseoir) but accept as correct ONLY a response in the 'modern' form (s'assoir). Now I don't have a problem with mixing and matching the 'old' and 'new' forms of the verb, but I think we should be consistent. A question based on the 'old' form of the verb should surely accept as correct a response using the same 'old' form of the verb.
