Comme chaque année depuis que tu nous as quittéS

I did read the lesson on past participle agreement with avoir but am still not sure why the 's' is needed in the above.

this is beautiful, but where is the  bilingual reader, where you can click any French phrase for the English translation and related grammar

Can we say "pour trouver le cadeau parfait" as well a "pour chercher le cadeau parfait"?

Thanks8

I just wanted to confirm that "cet après-midi" would have also been acceptable ? I didn't realise it, but there seems to be a polemic about the gender of après-midi,  it can apparently be either masculine or feminine, but  l'Académie favours the masculine.

Does that seem reasonable in the context of this dictée ? Any other comments anyone ?

Thanks, Paul.

In the last sentence, the speaker says he can't eat salad without bread and "salad" is expressed as "de salade." Shouldn't it be "de la salade?"

sometimes its je leur parle sometimes je parle aux leur,; how do we know which is which. think im missing something here

when is the object before the verb eg je lui parle and when after je parle a lui
