In Latin and English a future active indicative sometimes acts as an imperative command, like "Thou shalt not steal." I'm curious if there is any parallel to this in French? Thank you!

Why was toi incorrect on test?

The question was: "- Nous ?" "- Non, pas ________ !"

The correct response was "vous". Why is "toi" incorrect?

In the third line :nous n'avons pas été déçus du tout! I used n'étions pas déçu du tout thinking this was an opinion or a description of their

feelings at the time....why am I wrong?

Perhaps an example of "c'est" using a negative statement.

After more than a year of these lessons, I'd not learned "ce n'est pas" is how you say it is not "something" - for example - "Ce n'est pas une bonne taille." Great discovery (I found it in a weekend writing lesson) ! Great course !

How to say famous in French: It's OK to say" célèbre Cité du Vin", but not "célèbre Fontaine des 3 Grâces" -- only "fameuse" is correct there. Why?
