Hi,

I had a doubt regarding this statement : 

Je pense que tu vendrais facilement ta maison.

Shouldn't statements with penser/croire etc only be followed by indicatif in the positive or subjonctif in the negative? In what cases can we use conditionnel? I would think this particular sentence should use vendre in the future tense. So:

Je pense que tu vendras facilement ta maison.

Please let me know.

Thanks and regards

How do you know whether to use "depuis" or "il y a" to express a period of time. These lessons have had "J'habite à Paris depuis cinq ans" and also "J'ai mangé il y a un heure"

hi, why "L'année prochaine" is femenine in the example:

L'année prochaine, il commence l'université.

Can one no longer use  je puis?

«Depuis, impossible de trouver une position qui puisse soulager la douleur. Je ne peux ni dormir, ni m'allonger, ni me déplacer correctement.»  Can the first sentence really stand on its own? It would make more sense to me if this were all one long sentence with a comma after “douleur”. Am I wrong?

Can gagner be used for passing an exam same as réussir/avoir/ obtenir? Am asking because i used it once while speaking to someone. After this lesson i wonder if i used it wrongly.

How would you say Marc didn't watch it?  What is the order of the object pronouns in passé composé when the sentence is negative?

Please can some explain why the subjunctive mood is used in the sentence - Qu'est-ce que tu dirais qu'on se fasse une double séance en son honneur?

Hello,

Could you confirm whether "Le téléphone" needs to start with a capital letter "L" as both "le téléphone" and "Le téléphone" were marked as being correct and I have seen other examples on different Apps where there isn't always a capital letter at the start of a sentence in French.

I have let my writing and dictation practice slip because I’m speaking French on a daily basis, but a lesson like this one brings home the need to keep at these weekend challenges, keep practicing, keep adding to the vocabulary bank, keep addressing the grammar.
