I'll be right there in English is actually the use of the future continuous tense, as is I'll be there in two seconds. I'll is a contraction of I WILL.
Not a good example for using the present tense in English.
English teacher speaking here.
I just opened a french novel and the first line is: "Il ne faut pas que l'on nous voie." I searched for negative statements like this on Lawless and found the example here: "Il ne faut pas que nous mangions avec les doigts." So I guess putting the 'ne . . . pas' round 'faut' is correct. It seems strange to me as an Anglophone. If I were making this up, I guess I would say: "Il faut que nous ne mangions pas avec les doigts." Is that incorrect?

Did there not used to be a button to 'TRY THIS EXERCISE AGAIN'? I like to repeat these writing tasks several times to reinforce new vocabulary and expressions.
