can I write un mouton instead of le mouton?  

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.

Would it be appropriate to use "génial" as a translation of "nice!"?

Bonjour à tous, 

I've come access this sentence somewhere using "être on train de" in Conditionnel passé tense:

I would have been skying in the Alps if I hadn’t broken my leg.

Je serais en train de skier dans les Alpes si je ne m’étais pas cassé la

jambe.

I think we must use avoir (in Conditionnel présent) + être (in past participle) as follow:

J'aurais été en train de skier....

Could you explain which one is correct?

Merci beaucoup d'avance.

Salut,

I was wondering if someone could help me understand the following sentence:

Ils me feront découvrir cette ville bilingue que je ne connais pas encore

Could one also use "Ils me montront cette ville bilingue..."? 

Thanks
