I need a class on passé compose and l'imparfait
Can u arrange it svp
I’m not sure here why souhaite ends with an ‘e’ when it’s prefixed by a vous? Is it irregular?
Is it always the case that one uses the present tense after depuis que rather than the imperfect and passé composé as in " Since I was small, I travelled a great deal"?
I am confused about an answer. The sentence 'Tu n'as pas habité ici depuis long temps' was marked incorrect and ´Tu n'habites pas ici depuis long temps' given as the correct answer. But in the corresponding lesson we are told that in an affirmative sentence with 'depuis' you use present tense but if it is a negative sentence, you use passé composé. Where am I going wrong?
The corrections give the options of both subjunctive and indicative conjugation following the verb "esperer". Can you clarify? Thanks
I know that the translation is often literal, but would the following be a correct ways of writing "without me being made aware of it!" - sans avoir m'avertir (in place of sans que j'en sois informé. The latter seems cumbersome.
Also can one use "Encore une fois" in place of "Une fois de plus"?
Thanks
In the passage we have both
'du fait qu'il est le seul'
and
'le fait qu'il n'y ait pas de jeu'
and I wonder why one is indicative and one subjunctive?
How would you say "Ben will sit at that desk until after he's finished his homework." ?Ben restera assis à ce bureau jusqu'à ce qu'il ait fini ses devoirs.Ben restera assis à ce bureau jusqu'à ce qu'il finisse ses devoirs.
This sentence is from a B1 reading exercise about French cooking. Here, propre is translated as " specific". So, is this an alternative meaning to 'clean'?
