Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

It wants you to use pronominal verbs. They have a passive value here.

#

Of course you need to match their conjugation with the subject.

Also, you need to complete your answers.

I assume what’s underlined on the left determines whether or not the right one is plural or singular?

wraith bone
#

The verb is singular if the subject is singular. Likewise, the verb is plural if the subject is plural.

Is this right? It doesn’t look correct to me

#

Bois is the wrong conjugation (first and second person singular).

Good.

I’m not too familiar with this kind of usage of pronominal verbs in a sentence

wraith bone
#

It comes up from time to time so it's good to familiarize yourself with it.

I would say that the pronominal and the usage of « on » to describe the passive comes up often

#

for example I often see « Ça se dit que … » and « On dit que … » to translate 'It is said that… »
in fact, I don't think I've seen much « C'est dit que … »

#

So it’s like object, verb , subject ré-organized sentences with pre nominal verbs?

we sell clothes over there vs the clothes over there, we sell

#

Mostly good. There's one mistake: prendent isn't how you conjugate prendre in the third person plural present.
