À la bibliothèque (Fill-in-the-blanks kwiz)Bonjour Madame Cécile !
While attempting this exercise on Le Subjonctif Présent, I had queries in the following sentence->
1. J'étais comme votre fils, jusqu'à ce qu'un jour, j'aille dans la bibliothèque de mon quartier,et que je me mette à dévorer les romans “Donjons & Dragons.
In this sentence, Madame, why is the Subjonctif used in the second blank ? Can’t it be “je me mets” ?
2. Oui, et j'ai peur que cela ne lui fasse un peu peur.
Here, Madame, why does Mme. Aurélie use “cela” instead of “il” when referring to a Harry Potter novel ?
Merci encore Madame !
Prenez soin de vous et restez en sécurité.
Bonne journée!
Is it correct to also say “puis elle a repris a lire” ? “Then she resumed her reading” . Sorry, can’t type accents.
Julia is watching a Tom Cruise movie, there are four answers:-
1.It is very good - Il est très bon - agreed
2.He is very good - Il est très bon - Only if you are referring to Tom Cruise
3.She is very good - Elle est très bonne - Julia might not like Tom Cruise so she might be very good in watching it............
4.I can't remember the last answer offhand but it does have an instance where it COULD be correct.
The point is that other than answer 1 the other options are ALL options and may all be correct in certain circumstances. The ONLY certain answer to this particular question is the first one, all others are possible but are liable to return a partially correct result depending upon the way in which the question is viewed. I submit that it may NOT be the best question for this exercise.
The passive voice in several examples where we needed "was sent" and "had prepared" used plus que parfait ie) était envoyé and avait préparé, but for "the students were welcomed", my use of étaient accueillis was incorrect and the correct answer was the p.c.: Les étudiants ont été accueillis was correct. This seems illogical to me. Please explain the difference.
Should it not be “Pour cet après-midi” ?

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi on peut dire "la robe la plus belle"?
Bonjour. In the above examples, I see personne n'est heureux. The lesson does not talk about plurality I do not think.
In the quiz, now I can't remember, but I may or may not have used a singular masculine word. Do you have any extra information as plurality in this lesson? Merci.
Hi - thanks for this great website. I have a question regarding y and 'la\la-bas'. I am not sure whether they can be used interchangeably? For example we could both say J'y vais ou je vais là and, if so, does it keep the same meaning? Thank you!
So if I want to say "she is truly great", should I use "vraiement" or still "vraiment"?
