This example makes sense, as we can replace Lucie et moi with nous:
Lucie et moi allons au cinéma tous les mercredis.
However, in everyday spoken French, most people use on for the first person plural as the conjugation is easier (eg: On va au cinéma), where the conjugation takes the form of the third person singular. Given this, can we also use the third person singular conjugation here? That is:
Lucie et moi va au cinéma tous les mercredis.
Why is it l'eau du robinet rather than de robinet? On the other hand it is usually de like in résolutions de fin d'année.
Bonjour Madame Aurélie,
While doing a test named “Conte de fées” I landed up at a mysterious sentence -
Le père était àgé et sortirait rarement de son lit, alors sa fille devait s’occuper du jardin et des animaux.
Here I would like to ask you why a dû was marked incorrect although the English translation specifies ‘so his daughter had to take care of the garden .....’ . I read your lesson which states that one uses Passé Composé for an obligation that was very well met. And here too is the same case.
The link to the test -

Please help me to figure out the correct option.
Merci d’avance !
Bonne journée!
Just need a little clarification. Is the verb for "to worry" just "inquieter" or is it reflexive? (s'inquieter) If it is reflexive, how would that change the phrase, "I am a little worried" in French?
Verbs in -AYER, in spoken French (included written dialogue in a play for example) also accept an alternative version where the y is kept (and also pronounced differently)
How do we know which verbs accept the alternative version?
