I wrote "Puis nous irons chez nous vers 16 heures", is that really wrong. I see that "rentrerons" is better, but is it wrong what i wrote?
Hi. I thought negative opinions were followed by the subjunctive and translated the above sentence thus: Je ne pensais pas que ce soit si intéressant. Is that incorrect?
Thanks
My dictionary gives 3 translations for cookie : biscuit, petite gâteau, and gâteau. I chose to use petit gâteau, which was marked incorrect. Since I can't see the cookie and don't really understand if there is a difference, perhaps according to shape or size, could someone elaborate on the nuances? I have gotten into trouble with this with my friend, who is a native French person, when I used biscuit for cookies that she prepared. Apparently, there is some disfunction unknown to me.
Hello All.
I was reviewing pronouns using this page:
https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/indirect-objects-2/
It mentions using the adverbial pronoun "y" and then gives an example:
Il y pense. He’s thinking about her.I thought that "y" could only be used to reference an inanimate object, not a person.
Are there special cases? What am I missing here?
Thank You in advance.
Bob
How do you say “Not only…”?

Leave my sister alone!
Would Laissez-la! Carry a greater sense of gravity than Laisse-la! ?
Hi, in “Curieuse de nature, je m'y étais aventurée !”, is “curieuse” in its feminine form (as opposed to the masculine “curieux”) because the speaker is female? Am I right in thinking that this is not influenced at all by the female word “nature”?
