More problems getting on the horseDid a quiz, apparently answered wrong, and am now very confused.
The question: Elle ________ monté le poney de Jérémie et il a été très docile.
I went with "a monté". The quiz says the correct is "est monté".
Going by the Q&A, it seems like my answer was correct. I am stumped in two ways.
First, the Q&A says that avoir followed by the past participle is used for getting on a horse. This is a (pro)noun followed by a direct object. The lesson uses the example a "a monté mon cheval". I'm struggling to see why the verb auxiliary would switch based on who owns the horse.
Second, assuming I have the first part wrong someone how and être is the correct auxiliary, should the correct answer not be "est montée"? The subject is feminine.
I was under the impression that for the abstracts, we could use en... so when I wrote en besoin , I was marked wrong ... pls explain why?
Hi guys,
I have some questions. Hope you all can help me to understand.
While it is clear that stress pronoun is always after another noun, how do we decide the order if there are 2 stress pronouns together?
Is it
“toi et moi” or “moi et toi”
“toi et elle” or “elle et toi”
“moi et elle” or “elle et moi”
Is it the same as English when first-person related pronouns always come last (You and I, him and me) and second-person related pronouns always come first (you and him, You and I)?
Thank you in advance.

Bonjour!
I was wondering when listening to the audio of how to say the verb acheterais and acheterait to me they do sound the same am I correct to make that assumption?
I also wonder if the letter r is always silent as well as the letter L?
Thanks
Nicole
Should “il l’interrompait” be “il l’interromprait”?
I think that the use of imparfait vs passe compose (sorry I don't know how to use accents on this keyboard) is a matter of opinion in several cases here. For example, I used "achetait des croissants." He did this regularly. The answer is "a achete des croissants." He did it once. Either could be correct. The same with "est devenu une nouvelle personne." Did this happen at once or did it happen continuously? Judging by some other comments, I am not the only one who thinks either tense could be used in some cases.
Why does verb "faiblissent" agree with "bougies" and not "la lumière? La lumière des bougies"?
Salut, pourquoi est-ce on utilise "etre" au lieu d'avoir dans la phrase dessous:
"je me suis soudain rendu compte que..."
