In which lesson can I find the future simple conjugation of Prévoir? It seems to have a different pattern than explained in this lesson for VOIR or REVOIR. Isn't it a VOIR derivative. Please help.
This doesn't come very naturally to me at all. How do I know which verbs should be followed by "à" and thus use lui in these affirmative commands?
Jai laissez la petite jouer avec les santons, mais l enfant est un garcon , son fils, donc ne cest pas " le petit" ? oU est ce que un phrase la petite peu importe cest un garcon ou une fille ?
In this example - Le temps que nous arrivions, mon avion était déjà parti !
Why is it not - "Le temps que nous soyons arrivés..." because it means By the time we arrived... Why Subjonctif Passé is not used?
Hello
on the quiz: "we are leaving at four:" I chose "nous sortons à quatre," because I took it to mean "in the process of." But "partons" is correct, because "sortons" requires an actual place. Is that correct?
Thanks
We are leaving at four o’clock." ?Nous partons à quatre heures.Nous laissons à quatre heures.Nous quittons à quatre heures.Nous sortons à quatre heures.I'm a little bit stumped as to why the text insists on use of the pluperfect instead of le passé composé?
E.g. mes sœurs et moi avions hurlé and nous étions allés à l'église locale.
Why is it not nous avons hurlé and nous sommes allés?
Merci en avance pour la réponse!
Checking a couple of points
Both 'shampoing' and 'shampooing' are formally accepted and used spellings, but the latter is being 'corrected' to the former here.
A 'bottle' of shampoo is mostly advertised and sold as 'un flacon' - ' j'ai fini le flacon ' is not accepted as correct though.

I am seeing progress on these B2 listening exercises now that I keep an eye on the vocabulary list while listening to the entire passage read aloud several times. (Also, it is helping me to repeat the phrase aloud before starting to type it.) I'd like to suggest you include "lame" and "le manche" in this vocabulary list because they are also words of a somewhat specialized nature.
I assume it is a simple answer but am confused as to when I must use infinitive vs past participle…with past conditional
