Two verbs conjugated

Hi, in “Ce jour-là, tous les gens qui me connaissent le savent bien,” why are both connaître and savoir conjugated? There seems to be only one subject, so normally I find the second verb to be in the infinitive.

etre vs. avoir l'air

The first time I did this exercise, I wrote "Je vais etre beau et elegant !" Then, I changed it to: "Je vais avoir l'air beau et elegant !", which was marked wrong. Wouldn't the use of the phrase, "avoir l'air" also be correct in this situation?

Merci beaucoup et bonne continuation !

Quick question

HI,

My friend and I were wondering who would be correct.

She said: The sentence would be vous venez à hurt heures ce soir?

But, I told her the sentence should be Vous venez à vingt-deux ce soir. Since it would be the 24 hour clock for 8pm. Would I be correct?

Thanks

Nicole

when to use le

D'accord:

"You will NOT use le when talking about weekdays in a specific context (on Monday):

Mercredi, tu iras à l'école.On Wednesday, you will go to school."

UNLESS "when giving a whole date (day/number/month/[year]), such as

Le mardi 5 mars, j'ai rencontré Lola.On Tuesday the 5th of March, I met Lola.

Par example on the test : Le mardi 6 janvier, j'étais malade.On Tuesday the 6th of January, I was sick.

HOWEVER< If the question was "On Tuesday I was sick" (without the whole date), it would be "Mardi, j'étais malade."

Is that correct?? Thanks

B2 Simple Past, avoirLes amants eurent le temps de se cacher avant qu'il n'arrive.'

Why the n in n'arrive? Does this not now translate as 'before it happened'?

Devions or éions

Celine, not to be too picky but it is "devions" rather than "devrions" isn't it?
