Conjugate faire in Le Futur (future tense)

Hi Arndís - no it's a bug. We're looking for a fix. For now, please add topics to your notebook and kwiz against that if you want to control which topics you kwiz against, or continue to do level kwizzes or your dashboard studylist recommendations.

Sorry about this.

Sorry for the issue on this Arndís as gareth said it was a bug at our end, it should have and now does prevent you from taking the test if you have done it recently, this was a regression in a recent release, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.  The new release will allow us to be more clever with this in future, so we can customise the test rather than repeat the same one, but for now it has been restored to the way it has worked until now.

I think they both describe the same situation, but there is a difference in register - the first sentence is more formal.

In the second sentence it sounds to me like the girls have decided to do their homework after lunch; in the first sentence it sounds like they've been told to, or they always do it then.

You might find this document useful to explain some of the differences in usage between the two future tenses in English which seem to be roughly the same in French:

Hi Arndís,

I agree with Alan in that there is slight difference in register between, e.g.:

Je vais te dire. -- I am going to tell you.
Je te dirai. -- I'll tell you.

In addition, it seems that there is also slight different in temporal proximity. La future proche (Je vais te dire) is slightly closer to the present than la future simple (Je te dirai).

Thank you for your replies, I think I'm a step closer to understanding the difference. 

Bonjour Maloy !

For constructions such as "to have/get *something* done [by someone else]", you will use "faire faire *quelque chose*" in French, as follows:
"Elle le fera signer. / Elle va le faire signer." (She'll get it signed.)

I hope that's helpful !
À bientôt !

Merci beaucoup Aurélie!
