Bonjour!

i have just signed up as a premium subscriber and was wondering if there was a way to access historical writing challenges (as the post just says to click on the link in the email)

Hi Kwizig Team, 

Can you tell me why prochain is sometimes used before the noun as in la prochaine fois and sometimes after the noun as in lundi prochai.  Is there any difference in meaning (as in dernier)/

I understand that avant que requires the subjunctive. Given that the first part of the sentence is in the pluperfect, why is the present subjunctive used rather than past subjunctive? His arrival is in the past, just not as far in the past as the homework. 

Hello!

I was wondering about this: There is a song "je le vous dirai" - it seems to go against the rules about the order as outlined above. Is there a reason for this? Does it mean something different? Would this just be chalked up to creative freedom to make something sound better because it's a song?

Thanks!

I took a quiz that asked this question:

Les garçons ? Oui, elle les a ________ . The boys? Yes, she punished them.HINT: punir = to punish
