I'm sorry, but this is a terrible example sentence. Who on earth would refer to walking their dog as "taking a walk with" their dog? The dog has no independence. It doesn't join you for a walk the same way your friend Julie might.
The example sentence should be changed to:
Anne et Antoine promènent leur chien.
You can have the same answer choices, but the correct answer would be "Anne and Antoine are walking their dog." Which is a sentence you might say in real life, as opposed to "They're taking a walk with their dog" which no one said ever.
I did not find this text very useful. Too much language that we are unlikely to encounter in everyday French.
Why is it Marc l'a regardée and not Marc l'a regardé. Surely the latter is feminine? Thankyou
If On is used to say we as a group with which you're familiar with and are part of, does that mean saying it for other groups or just random groups of people means it becomes "One Or People" ? And do French speakers receive it as so ?
Small point. 'After studying for your exam..' 'use reviser' , it might be more accurate to use the common English expression, 'after revising for your exam'. Revising implies going over old material, studying usually means learning new material. IMHO
As per this lesson, would it be wrong to use the passé composé in ALL positive sentences with DEPUIS??
For example - "Vous avez grossi depuis l'année dernière."? Is it incorrect? [You have gained weight since last year]. Is it a must to use present tense ONLY over here?
So, "Vous grossissez depuis l'année dernière." - (Present Tense) [You have been gaining weight since last year]
