French language Q&A Forum

"Hi, "Les étudiants ont été accueillis par le directeur ce matin." Why not:- "Les étudiants étaient accueillis par le directeur ce matin." I've been pondering why the first is correct but the second verb construction isn't. I realise the Kwiziq sentence is presented in a passive voice but it seems to me to be saying "they had been welcomes by the director this morning" rather than "were welcomes". Any guidance gratefully accepted, Edward"

Is it fine to use these forms to ask "what are you making?" or is there a more appropriate way to ask/better verb to use?

I have already pointed out that it has turned out to be impossible to introduce a cedilla in our responses, either using the directions on your page or keyboard commands that usually works for MS Word. So, I will always be faulted for this apparent mistake even though I have done my best to avoid it.

bonjour

can you give me  examples of faire sauter  please?

Agree.. I got a question "J'ai visité les Etats-Unis" and I was marked incorrectly for l'année passée.. corrected to l'année dernière
