Pour le premier, j'ai choisi 1a, mais kwiziq a dit que la réponse 1b ("You've") est exacte. Pourquoi ? En anglais, "you've had" veut dire "you have had", à peu près un temps parfait. Est-ce-qu'il aurait du que la correcte réponse soit 1a: "You had a little brother" ?

In the first example, "se demander" does not agree in number or gender because the reflexive pronoun "se" is an indirect object. Why doesn't that same rule apply to "se sentir" (I feel)? Thanks.
Why is "I really feel like an ice cream !" "J'ai vraiment envie d'une glace !" in the past tense? Isn't the statement in the present tense as it is happening now?
For the example elle y repond, does this mean it's wrong to say elle le repond? Or elle la repond?
Thanks in advance.
Je ne partirai pas d'ici à moins que nous ne décidions où nous allions/irons?
Ou peut-être:
Je ne paritrai pas d'ici à moins que nous ne décidions où aller?
Are there any fixed verbs for pronominal, or any verb can be a pronominal verb ? Somebody, reply please.
Merci en avance !
I would like to know if l' + vowel is for only feminine nouns or applies to both feminine and masculine.
Merci
Why not "en Afrique" rather than "pour l'Afrique"?
