In the lesson it mentions 'the irregular root prenn-' but I think it is in fact regular. The present 3rd person indicative plural is Ils prennent and that leads to prenn- as the subjunctive stem.

Thank you

Thank you

I really did not understand some of this.  What does "Ainsi font, font, font" mean?  Also, the meaning of "La taille courbée" and "le front penché".  Finally, "s'en vont" confused me.  Are they going somewhere?  Help!
