Why is it 'je venais' when she is saying 'I was calling' rather than using appeler e.g. J'appelais simplement...'?
Thanks
Is s'en aller used in the negative form? If so, what is the construction?
The fete was organized by the sisters, so that Beatrice would have been NOTRE cousine rather then MA cousine. I recognized that the exercise said "my cousin" but I figured that as they (sisters) were making it, the cousin would have been one of both of theirs. I guess I overthought what was being asked.....
J'ai étudié à Toulouse pendant deux mois. Then why is it wrong. Please explain.
"nous descendrons "te" rejoindre dans la cuisine" This is how that appeared in the corrected dictation. What is "te" in reflexive verbs? Is this a misprint?
Can we use ensuite here?
Hi. When practising the use of 'que', one of your examples runs 'Les fleurs que Paul sent.' and the translation is The flowers that/which Paul smells. As the present tense in English denotes habitual or regular doings, the present tense here implies that Paul smells them every day or often, which sounds a bit odd. I think the progressive form' is smelling' would give the correct meaning of ' Paul sent'.

Hki.
Translate this please: "Celui qui a santé est riche sans le savoir."
Why is it 'Elle aurait eu froid sans son manteau' and not 'aurait été froid'?
