Bonjour, why is it not 'nous sommes arrivées'? I put an extra 'e' because Marie is a female.

"Parvenir" goes with être and "Convenir" goes with avoir (unlike venir) in Passé composé?? Same goes for "Survenir" (goes with être) and "Subvenir" (goes with avoir). Where can I find all such cases of Venir??? The list given on Kwiziq does not have these verbs - https://kwiziq.learnfrenchwithalexa.com/revision/grammar/verbs. Please help.

I was wondering how you would put combien into a question with inversion; and I couldn't find any lessons adressing this specifically. This occurred to me while thinking about the question "How many words in the dictionary?" Would it be:

Combien de mots la dictionnaire a-t-elle?

Combien la dictionnaire a-t-elle de mots?

La dictionnaire a-t-elle combien de mots?

Or would it be something different?

Anyway, I just need to ease my curiosity.

I thought that, “ Nous sommes en train de le finir.” is incorrect since de le becomes du…

Is J'etais = Je fus? i am confused because both mean "I was"

Avez-vous une bonne Hachis Parmentier recette? Patrice

You show the flag mounted with both the blue side and the red side against the flagpole. This is clearly incorrect.

Small mis-spelling.

“and I set the table with colourful plates.”

“et j'ai mis la table avec des assiettes multicolres.”

-> “multicolores”

could you use lit matrimonial instead of lit double?
