Hello,

Would you be able to use the 'on' form of the verb in a sentence such as 'my family and I watch a film - ma famille et moi regarde un film' or would it need to be the nous form - ma famille et moi regardons un film?

why is recevrez, the future tense being asked for?  wouldn't ce weekend indicate a "near future action " and so take the present tense?

quelle luxe ou quel luxe ?

AVEC DE (du, des) vs aux Is there a rule for this?

Salade DE

Saumon AVEC DU , DES

Poulet AVEC DES

Pâtes AUX Gâteau au...AVEC glace

aux pommes AVEC crème

I am doing B1 French and reading Camus La Peste( hard going sometimes) On page 173 he says"elles suffirent" which I take to mean they were enough,and I struggled with the conjugation but I found it as passive simple on the Lawless website. I interrogated Gemini AI and it suggested that passive simple is a compound tense requiring auxiliary from etre...despite its name. It also suggested Camus often used passe simple in a stylistic for without the auxiliary. So,is the Lawless conjugation right,and is elles suffirent passe simple, and please,what is going on?

“je me sens bien”, et, “je vais bien?”   Merci!

I was watching a short youtube video in which, if I understood the gist of it, a bilingual gentleman was giving students advice in how to translate.  I thought I heard him address his audience repeatedly by 'tu'. I don't know if it was a tongue in cheek humour or was he being unusually familiar, The video was here:

Merci.

If you use the inverted form, the answer key asks for the extra -t- after s'adapte, so s'adapte-t-il. That looks redundant, since adapte already ends in a t sound. (Inverted questions in the present tense (Le Présent) in French - il/elle/on forms)

Is there perhaps a different rule for silent 'e' endings?

should translate to "47 days of high tension". The transcript says "74 days ..."
