Please explain why in this exercise the present subjunctive is used rather than the perfect subjunctive in the sentence 'Il a fallu qu'elle reste suspendue dans les airs plusieurs heures avant que les secours ne réussissent à la secourir.'  

How do you translate “le coup de venir” and “On peut se faire goûter”? 

Would the sentence “j’en ai déjà l’eau à la bouche!” make sense without using it?”

Hello,

I got these words wrong and they weren't offered as alternative answers. Can you explain why? 

FUN FAIR: foire vs fête foraine 

RIDE: attraction vs manège

Thank you!

Cori

EDIT: I read my wrong answer and the bots right answer the wrong way round. Sorry for doubting you kwiziq

Elle a lu jusqu'à finir le livre. Is jusqu'à+ infinitive form of verb a correct expression. Should this sentence not be with ce que.

I smell good(I took a shower)-je sens bon or I smell well( my nose is working properly)-je sens bien. Are either of this correct?                   

"Vous alliez vous rejoindre…" Is this construction because the subject pronoun stays with the infinitive?  Is something lost if you say "vous vous alliez rejoindre…"

Hello,

I was confused a couple of times because in the United States, they still use commas to represent spaces in thousands: 19,956.
In Canada, we write, 19 956.   Do your lessons take this into consideration?
Thanks in advance.

Can I say: "qui se trouve dans l'île des fruits et des légumes."

instead of "qui se trouve au rayon fruits et légumes."
