My performance on this was dismal (lugubre). I don’t think it was me. It is too difficult for A1, à mon avi.
In the sentence,"Selon les témoins que j'ai interviewés, et aussi incroyable que cela paraisse, un hélicoptère se serait posé dans la cour de promenade de la prison et La Fuite serait monté à bord avant qu'il ne redécolle, tout ça en quelques minutes à peine !", I don't understand the use of the present tense of redécoller when we are discussing something that happened in the past in particular when it is preceded by two past perfect verbs, se poser and monter. Also, why is ne inserted before redécoller?
For the phrase, "je suis né pour travailler dans ce domaine." the audio says something like, "je suis né pour cette vocation."
"qu'on pouvait passer ses vacances ainsi" Why l'imparfait and not le conditionnel?
Speaking to friends, would it not be correct to say: 'Dépêche-toi', rather than 'Dépêchez-vous'?
What is the function of the word “ce” in this phrase: Dans le milieu professionnel, et ce dans presque tous les secteurs d’activité
Excusez moi madame? I do not know how to conjugate the verb Entre
The last sentence "Je vois encore son sourire quand je l'avais surprise." I thought toujours would be better here as “encore” is more often used to describe something that's not going to last much longer, or something that's been repeated. “Toujours” expresses the fact that it's something frequent, or something very long (in this case, he will likely not forget her smile for a long time).
Could you explain why we use encore here?
