To be honest only 3 people in my school do A Level French and they both chose TV, they think I'm crazy for choosing holidays but it was a simple advantages/disadvantages question!

What was the question? I chose tv :smile:

thats what I did, but im scared it can't be that easy!

It's definitely subjunctive with 'Il faut que' - I had previously thought subjunctive wasn't 100% needed for AS French but clearly it is. What did you do for the pouvoir one?

It was what are the advantages/disadvantages of holidays? I had completely predicted that TV question, word for word but I still didn't do it.

Il faut que les enfants aient? :smile:

It said something like "Dans l'avenir..." = future

I'm pretty sure it had a l'avenir before it, but I remember there was difinitely a sign that it was future!

I'm fairly due it was conditional, i.e. 'pourraient' because the sentence made more sense that way. Though you might still get the mark for future.

I thought this too but I ended up putting future because there was a direct reference to the future, and yeah sometimes there's two answers for one answer in grammar.

I put pourraient too, because it made more sense, but in the mark schemes you sometimes get marks for both so fingers crossed!

I just sat this paper today and I think it went well. I was really pleased about the essays that came up. I chose the television question and I think I did quite well in hindsight. The paper didn't really give me too much trouble to be honest, although question 7 I found very hard, as did everyone else who sat the paper as far as I know. Apart from that though, everything was just as I expected it to be in terms of difficulty. Anyone else got any thoughts on how the paper went?
