direct or indirect object Ils m'ont bien sûr envoyé des photos, Is the past participle envoyé rather than envoyée because the m in m'ont is an indirect object?

present, or futur simple ?

Does the use of this phrase (When something has happened, something else will) automatically make the "something else" far enough in the future to use futur simple rather than present tense ? Certainly some of the examples here would likely be fairly soon in the future, but they all use futur simple !

Their life or their lives

Hi Kwiziq team,

Why not "their lives" here:

Je fais ce que je peux pour rendre leur(s) vie(s) plus facile tout en leur faisant découvrir notre culture.

Thank you

Why can't I write "Ton père est dans la prison.?

I think "dans la" & "en" both work in this example. My reasoning is that prison is a physical place.

Expletive "ne" following a positive main verbMy answer to a quiz question in which the main verb is positive included the “ne” expletive in the subordinate clause following "sans que". This was marked as wrong. I’ve followed the discussion about the use of this expletive with “sans que” and there appears to be no consensus about whether it can be used or not when the main verb is positive, and even the Académie Française equivocates. It seems that it’s quite common for “ne” to be used in this context, in which case shouldn't "ne" be allowed whether the main verb is negative or positive?

passe compose vs imparfaitApparently a lot of people are having problems with these two tenses in this exercise. Even experts (C1) differ in opinion. Maybe there is no absolutely correct usage.
