Hi, in “si bien que nous avons foncé à l'hôpital.” why did “bien que” not trigger a subjunctive? E.g. “si bien que nous ayons foncé à l'hôpital.” UPDATE: I see that “si bien que” means “so much so that” and doesn’t trigger a subjunctive. I was incorrectly parsing this as “bien que” meaning “although”.
I wrote : nous rentrions de lécole. could that be an option?
Hi,
I was wondering. My friend had asked me a question How is your room? Would I still use elle est since it is specific when i respond to her?

I'm sure the speaker says "charger" and not "changer" in this exercise. I understand that "charger" wouldn't make sense in the context but it is still off putting when doing the exercise and trying to faithfully write what is being said
Why is it not "....qu'elle s'agit....." as both the sculpture (which we know is a woman and is specific) is feminine and/or Catherine is feminine?
Also is the use of the conditional perfect, because this is a legend and therefore there is some doubt as to whether it actually happened?
Are they correct depending on whether 'en' means it (singular) or them (plural)?
1. Pierre m'en a offert. / Pierre m'en a offerte. [Pierre offered some of it/them to me.](If COD/Direct Object - 'en' - it/them)
2. J'ai mangé des chocolats. --> J'en ai mangés. [I ate them.]
Are agreement rules applicable in Passé Composé for 'en' when it is a Direct Object Pronoun ?
May have found a missing translation. I put "j'ai choisi de passer le reste de la nuit dans les buissons de Mme. Maron !" and was marked wrong, but "j'ai décidé de passer le reste de la nuit dans les buissons de Mme Maron !" and "j'ai choisi de finir la nuit dans les buissons de Mme Maron !" are accepted translations.
Hi, I thought that something in the past that continues to the present (and is still continuing) would take the imparfait, not the passé composé: Je voulais toujours essayer…
In the 90s, several rap groups released songs that included the repeated refrain "Whoop/Whoot there it is!" This would often be played during sporting events, especially basketball, as a way to celebrate scoring a goal. Is the French "ça y est" similarly celebratory? Is it ever associated with scoring a goal at a sporting event?
