Hi,
I read from a text book that I use (Inspire B1) and it says to conjugate Je/Tu/Il/Elle/On/Ils/Elles we do as what is described in this lesson.
However, for "Nous" and "Vous", the general rule is that we take the "Présent" form of "Vous", remove the "ez" ending and replace it with "ions" and "iez". I check with verbs such as "Prendre" and "Mouvoir" and it is correct.
Can anyone verify this ?
After a listening or writing practice, I check the Q&A. Sometimes there is a discussion that I find I want to revisit later. How can I get to the Q&A for a lesson without re-doing the lesson? Also, how can I find questions I have previously posted?
Why doesnt the video play? It says

I was asked to fill in the blank for the sentence, "After he said that, he left," where the conjugation of dire was missing. I had been asked so much lately about passé simple that I used simply dit, when a dit was expected. I was marked wrong for that.
But isn't it also correct, although unexpected? Or is it just that a native speaker would never do that for such a simple sentence, so it should be discouraged?
Why is "I had to read a poem" given the imperfect here? The lesson flagged under the answer (Using "devoir" in the imperfect tense versus the compound past in French (L'Imparfait vs Le Passé Composé)) suggests it should be passé composé, since it refers to an obligation that was completed.
why is is J'habite Paris instead of Je habite Paris
Generally your example sentences are fun as well as useful. However this one seems like it comes from another era: “ Les femmes étaient occupées: les unes cuisinaient, les autres faisaient la vaisselle.”
Et toi, comment vas-tu?-I think this is how the correct version is
And you, how are you?
when to use Ce and Ça. Because i read that Ce is used only with etre. But that is not always the case. It is even followed by adjective and adverb
I tried and tested with some of the AI tools like chatgpt and gemini to confirm if the given long text is for A1 level but they both said it's above a2/b1 level due to vocabulary, synonyms and complex sentence structure. I tested becauase even i felt quite hard to grasp the meaning of most words and sentences.
