In the last sentence, why is the verb form used, nous ne serons pas pris, instead of, nous ne prendrons pas. I'm not sure what this verb tense is.
Why is "almost identical" translated simply as "identique", rather than "presque indentique"?
Could someone please direct me to the correction board as per Céline's suggestion below?
I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find it.
I should know this by now but don't. Please explain why c'est is used and not 'Il est' I would have thought (wrongly) that 'il est' is referring to a specific person and therefore be the correct choice? Thank you
Je pense que c'est le meilleur candidat. Je le pense sincèrement.
The text above says "different than" - this is an Americanism. In British English it should read "different from", or (less favoured) "different to." However the words are spelt in British English. I am nitpicking, but isn't this par for the course?!
In the sentence below the verb emmener is used, however doesn't that give the impression that her mother stayed with her daughter to watch the film? Whereas the english text says that she watched the film with her best friend. Given the context and thinking retrospectively, I guess her mother would have stayed with her to watch it, but it's a little ambiguous (she could have just dropped her off at the cinema).
I used amener instead of emmener, but that wasn't given as an option.
j'avais dû casser les pieds à ma mère pendant des semaines pour qu'elle m'emmène voir "Amélie" avec ma meilleure amie Lola.

Can I say 'je suis en train de lire ce livre' if I am reading the book but not actually at that moment?
Can anyone let me know what is the correct meaning of comment vous vous appelez?
Is it you call yourself... or your name is... ?
And, why do we use comment vous vous appelez? instead of Quel est votre nom?. and what's the difference between these two?
Please can you explain this lesson. Even the examples don't seem to fit the explanation
Penser que + indicative ne pas
Penser que + subjunctive
