I would like to know if conjugating here in the imparfait (existait) does not imply that the museum used to exist, but no longer does. I am inclined to want to conjugate 'exister' in present tense to get around this problem, yet I know its gramatically incorrect to do so. If someone can help, I would greatly appreciate.

Have a good day all :)

why is e silent in verbs like jouer or crier but not the rest?

HI,

I am confused with how this is laid out.

Are all ER verbs have a silent e in them/? due to the non pronounced e shcwa?

What makes jouer and crier different from your other examples like manger and parler?

In very formal spoken french would you be required to speak these e's - for example in poetry?

"....sans qu'ils aient à s'inquiéter de potentielles répercussions professionnelles..."

How could we deduce that these were plural, and not " de potentielle répercussion professionnelle" ?

Using "pour conduite" in one of the examples

Hi,

Not related specifically to the direct subject of this lesson, but I'm interested in the grammar in the sentence "Vous comparaissez devant le tribunal pour conduite..." I would have used "pour conduire...". Is this covered in a lesson somewhere?

Thanks.

Faire vs. Etre meaning in context

Is there any difference in meaning between the use of faire and etre contextually? Or, are they freely interchangeable?

I guess my main concern is, is there an example of a time when faire would be chosen over etre and vice versa?

Stress Pronouns - Missing something here...

I got this exercise wrong on the qwiz, but I don't see any explanation in the A2 Stress Pronouns lesson on why you would use "elle" rather than "lui." Isn't "lui" supposed to be for either gender?

1________ devez prendre une décision. You and she need to make a decision.

Toi et lui was marked as incorrect, and Toi et elle was marked as the correct answer, but I don't understand why.

Agreement of 'relaxed'

In the last sentence, "Exactement Yvan ! Prenez votre temps et restez détendus !", the adjective détendus is plural; the previous comment was directed at Yvan. I would expect the singular détendu if the comment is directed at Yvan. Another interpretation is that the comment is directed at both Yvan and his friend or perhaps others in the group. It is a bit ambiguous. Do you agree?

Partie intégrante de nos vies vs des recoins unexplored de leur imagination.

Hi,

Can anyone explain why sometimes in these types of phrases plural is used 'nos vies' or sometimes it is expressed in the singular ' leur imagination'

Is it optional or is there a rule governing this?

Thanks
