When do we use ‘eux’ for them, instead of ‘leur?’
In 'nous nous étions fait piquer' why does the 'fait' not need to agree with the subject?
I have a question for a team member. The above sentence can translate as 1 One can’t park here (impersonal, general) 2 You can’t park here (also impersonal and general but less formal) or 3 We can’t park here (personal, specific)
In English, the general sense of the first two is similar but the meaning of the third differs. Is that true in French as well, or are the various senses of "on" closer? Presumably it’s clear from context which one is meant.
Write sentences of se laver in futur simple
I'm a bit confused by the meaning of this sentence (the temporality). If it refers to a one time thing (not a habit) then is it referring to future actions ? i.e. is it an equivalent of "I will make the bed once you have gotten up ?" Or does it mean that I am right now doing the bed but I have started some time in the past after you have already gotten out of bed ?
Why is the phrase "notre prof de science nous demandait de préparer ..." in imparfait not passé composé? Since the requests occurred at specific points in time I thought it would be passé composé. Is it because the requests were repeated each year?
