French language Q&A Forum

why for past we use -  j'avais du mal 

But future we don't use - j'aurai du mal 

and uses - je vais avoir du mal ?

When to use one of the other

The examples use avoir but the text says use etre - I am confused 

The commentary is simply too fast. May I suggest that you have a slower speed, in addition to the present one. Duolingo does this, and I find I need to break down the words -- then, I can play the faster speed, as I know conversations aren't done in a slow speed. But, as of now, the words simply run together and I can't discern individual words.

Why is there a direct object pronoun in this sentence, "je poserai autant de vacances que je le pourrai"? What does "le" refer to here? Can you say, "je poserai autant de vacances que je pourrai"?

I don't get why the tenses change from perfect to imperfect? it's the same sentence?

Why is "pouvoir" before "les utiliser" in the fourth sentence? The English to be translated was just "in order to use".

How come its Les yeux but mes bras? Thanks ???

Mets les verbes entre parentheses au futur proche

Nous (diner).....................chez vous

Ils(aller)  ................au cinema

Vous ( visit) ...............ma mere

The sentence to be translated:

Plus, his songs were extraordinarily varied…..

The correct answer:

De plus, ses chansons étaient si extraordinairement variées….

Why is si required here ? I left it out and was marked wrong.
