So if venir de + infinitive means to have just done something, why has ‘juste’ been introduced in the sentence “Je viens juste d’emménager”. It sounds a bit like “i’ve just just moved”.

Bonjour,

Can I use des longtemps as the duration with pendant, ie, je vais vivre en france pendant des longtemps? Or is longtemps not considered a specific time frame?

Merci :)

how do I say " it will be our golden wedding anniversary later this year"

thank you

Why was this marked incorrect for "I am five minutes late" ?   According to the lecture, can use either "Je suis en retard"  (de 5 minutes) or  "J'ai (5 minutes) de retard"   

Le chalet : It is one of those words - does the ‘a’ have a roof over it or not ?  According to my Oxford English-French dictionary no, which is why i’m going with that spelling, but the American English - French dictionary could well say otherwise. Google translate is without too

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

While attempting this exercise on Le Subjonctif Présent, I had queries in the following sentence->

1. J'étais comme votre fils, jusqu'à ce qu'un jour, j'aille dans la bibliothèque de mon quartier,et que je me mette à dévorer les romans “Donjons & Dragons.

In this sentence, Madame, why is the Subjonctif used in the second blank ? Can’t it be “je me mets” ?

2. Oui, et j'ai peur que cela ne lui fasse un peu peur. 

Here, Madame, why does Mme. Aurélie use “cela”  instead of “il” when referring to a Harry Potter novel ?

Merci encore Madame ! 

Prenez soin de vous et restez en sécurité.

Bonne journée!

It was marked incorrect, but doesn’t it fit the sentence better? It said that it should have been “Pendant qu’il va se préparer avec toi....”. 

Thanks!
