I’m so not ready for this but I’m excited to have french over with…
Je n’ai pas eu - I have not had (eu being the past particle)

https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/past-participle-conjugations/ This may be helpful :smile:

Important past particles:
être - été
avoir - eu
faire - fait
aller - allé
pouvoir - pu
devoir -
vouloir - voulu
voire - vu

Depuis + Present tense verb + Time = (Pronoun) has/have been (Verb) since (Time)
Il y a (Time) - (Time) ago

How did the exam go?
That was quite nice, would've preferred a nicer theme 1 150 words because that's what I was going to do originally but did theme 3 instead

I did:
90 words - Theme 1
150 words - Theme 3

Translation was quite easy tbh
The translation for anyone who wants it:

I go to the cinema every month but my friend prefers films online. This morning, we listened to music with our teacher. I would really like to play an instrument. I don't like living in the countryside so when I am older I'll buy a flat in the town centre, even if there is a lot of pollution.

My mind went blank on the work ‘even’ in the translation 🤦*♀️ I think I put ensuit instead lol
I wanted to do the theme ones but I didn’t really understand either of them (even though I prepared for them) so I did 2 and 3 which wasn’t too bad actually

i put meme si (at the time i thought this was just another way i couldve said it)

I misunderstood the question and I was writing what I want to do after future study instead of what I want to do in university. And last 5 min I realised and wrote another page but didn’t cross out the first answer and I wondering will the examiner look at all and give me some marks or won’t look at them)

Ce matin nous avons écoutons avec notre professeur. Je voudrais vraiment jouer un instrument . Je n’aime pas habiter dans la campagne donc quand je vais plus âgé je vais acheter un appartement dans le centre ville même si il y a beaucoup de la pollution. I really messed up the translation does anyone know what around this would get out of 12 😫 hoping for at least 4 but the rest of the paper was easy

wasn't the bullet point what you want to with studies in the future?

Does anyone know what the bullet points on the third 32-marker meant?
what did the questions mean on the 32-marker I forgot
