Last sentence - Why géante and not géantes?
Je ne comprends pas le temps que ca lui prend de se preparer ! Is an example given to illustrate when l'indicatif is used and not le subjonctif. That I understand but I find the the sentence interesting and would like to ask : 1. Could que ca lui be replaced by qu'elle prend ? and 2. Could que ca be replaced by celui que ?

Hello,
This is the sentence I'm talking about: He was sick all day yesterday.
This is why I'm confused:
a) It could be imparfait because I believe that when you talk about health, you use the imparfait.
b) It could be passé composé because you know the time-frame of when it (him being sick) took place: all day yesterday.
Et si la souris est un garcon?
Shouldn’t this be written as Elle pourrait voir son petit-fils?

à la place de
la seule personne à sourire le jour de la rentrée !
si attendu
qui me séparent de mon retour au bureau
merci !
