For example, if I say "Elle faire ses devoirs" instead of "Elle est en train de faire ses devoirs", what is the difference? Thank you

Elle fait ses devoirs. -- She does her homework. This is a general statement in the present tense. Even though it is in present tense, it has a bit of a "timeless" quality. If you want to express that she is right at it, that very moment, in her room, doing her homework, in English you would use the continuous form: "She is doing her homework." In French there is no continuous form. So if you want to stress that something is happening as you speak, you can use "être en train".

Elle est en train de faire ses devoirs. -- She is doing her homework (right now, as we speak). She is in the process of doing her homework.

Man allegedly drugged wife's dinner then invited more than 50 other men over to rape her

Some 51 men are accused of raping Gisèle Pélicot, a mother of three, after she was allegedly drugged by her husband at the family home in Mazan, a commune in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

• 16:23, 2 Sep 2024
• Updated 16:37, 2 Sep 2024

A mum who was allegedly raped by multiple strangers after being drugged by her own husband today faced them all in a packed court room .

Gisèle Pélicot, a 72-year-old French woman, waived her legal right to anonymity on Monday at the opening of the trial of Dominique Pélicot, 71, and 51 other men.

All are accused of aggravated rape in a trial at the Vaucluse Criminal Court, in Avignon, which is due to last for four months. Twenty of them, including Pélicot, are in custody, while the others remain on bail.

Asked to confirm his name and address at the start of proceedings, Pélicot said: "My home is prison, you know it". Ms Pélicot, a mother-of-three, was supported by her adult children as she stood in the public gallery, listening to evidence.

The family home, in nearby Mazan, allegedly became a crime scene over almost a decade, when streams of men were invited to attack Ms Pélicot. Her husband is said to have used an online platform called coco.fr to contact them between 2011 and 2020.

Detectives have listed a total of 92 rapes committed by 72 men, 51 of whom have been identified.They are all being tried alongside Mr Pélicot , a former employee at French utility company, EDF.

In evidence from previous hearings, he said all the men who slept with his wife ‘knew she was drugged’ without her knowledge. Pélicot said ‘all had free will’ and ‘could have left the premises’ at any time.

Presiding Judge Roger Arata announced first thing on Monday morning that Ms Pélicot would be granted her wish for ‘full publicity’ until the end of the trial.

"Proceedings will be public," said the judge, who is president of a bench composed of five professional magistrates. Ms Pélicot’s lawyer, Antoine Camus, said: "She could have opted for a closed trial, but that’s what her attackers would have wanted."

Despite this, it would be a ‘horrible ordeal,’ said Mr Camus, adding: ‘For the first time, she will have to live through the rapes that she endured over ten years.

The Pélicots shared a large family house and – outwardly – were highly respectable pensioners with family members who visited regularly. Neighbours spoke about them as ‘lovely people’ who held parties around their swimming pool, in a well-kept garden, according to court evidence.

In fact, Pélicot was allegedly a serial rapist who moved his family from greater Paris in 1991, and later allegedly set up the sex ring. It involved advertising on a site for ‘partners’ on an online forum called ‘Without Her Knowing’.

Participants would discuss performing acts on unwitting partners, and then film their depravity, before storing the videos on a USB drive dubbed ‘Abuses’. In Pélicot’s case, the data eventually fell into the hand of police, who confirmed it enabled them to identify the 92 cases of rape. Of the 83 men involved, 51 aged between 26 and 73 were identified and arrested by the police.

Pélicot is said to have sedated his wife by putting tablets of a powerful anxiolytic drug into her evening dinner. He then invited strangers from the online forum into the couple's bedroom, so that his wife could be raped while unconscious. All were told to wash their hands, and not to wear aftershave, so she would not sense they were strangers.

Investigators only learned about the horror in 2020, when Pélicot was arrested in a supermarket in Carpentras for filming up the skirts of other customers.

When police searched his camera phone, and equipment kept at his home, they found all of the abuse images. Alleged rapists involved in the case include civil servants, ambulance workers, soldiers, prison guards, nurses, a journalist, a municipal councillor, and truck drivers.

A fireman accused of raping Ms Pélicot wore his uniform during the attack, one video shows. The fireman's computer contained 728 images of children being sexually abused, say prosecutors.

Some of his accomplices claimed they had no idea the sex was not consensual while one denied it was rape, saying: "It's his wife, he does what he likes with her." The trial continues, and is due to last until December 21.

Does she do her homework?

She does her homework. Does she do her homework?

Why the questioning sentence is using "do"?

2 Answers 2

To ask a question, we need to use an auxiliary verb at the beginning of the sentence. In our case, the auxiliary verb is do : this is called do-support .

But since "she" is a singular third-person pronoun, we turn do into does . The first do carries the third-person ending s (or es ) instead of the second. So there's no reason to leave the second verb with the same ending.

She flew home. ("Flew" is the Past Tense form of "fly") Did she fly home?

Notice how the auxiliary verb do assumed the Past Tense form did , and the main verb fly now has no need to be in the Past Tense form: the auxiliary verb does this work.

The main verb contains the meaning, the auxiliary verb is a "helping verb".

In your example sentence, the first do (in the form does ) is an auxiliary verb , and the second do (in the form do ) is a main verb .

The usual situation

When turning a statement into a question, we move the first word of the verb to the beginning of the sentence:

Statement: She is doing her homework. Question: Is she doing her homework?

An exception

If there is only one word in the verb, we use a form of to do to add a word to the verb, then move the added do :

Statement: She does her homework. Two-word verb: She does do her homework. Question: Does she do her homework?

Statement: She has a question. Two-word verb: She does have a question. Question: Does she have a question?

An exception to the exception

If the verb is a one-word form of to be , we can't use to do to add a word. All we can do is move the verb that exists.

Statement: She is a student . Mistake: She does is a student. Question: Is she a student?

Kamala Harris drops 'unburdened' catchphrase again despite mockery

Breaking news, kamala harris slammed for deploying a ‘fake accent’ in detroit speech.

Vice President Kamala Harris was accused Monday of using a “fake accent” in her remarks to teachers union members in Michigan. 

Harris, speaking at a Detroit high school, appeared to alter her tone of voice in moments where she became particularly animated and when interacting with supporters in the crowd. 

“You may not be a union member, but you better thank a union member for the five-day workweek. You better thank a union member for sick leave. You better thank a union member for paid leave. You better thank a union member for vacation time,” Harris said at one point in her remarks that several social media users shared on X. 

The Trump campaign noted that Harris delivered a very similar line hours later, during a speech to union workers in Pittsburgh , in which the apparent accent wasn’t present. 

“Let’s see if you can spot the difference…,” read a post on the Trump campaign’s X account, which included video clips from both speeches.

In another viral moment, Harris, after being interrupted by a supporter, responded, “Let’s just get through the next 64 days. How about that?” and followed up with a fist-bump motion. 

“This is SO CRINGE!” comedian and podcast host Chad Prather wrote on X , sharing a clip of Harris’ Detroit speech.

“Kamala Harris has again brought out her FAKE accent…this time in Detroit, Michigan!” he observed. “NO ONE IS BUYING IT!”

Matt Whitlock, a Republican communications strategist, argued that “all of politics is a performance to Kamala Harris,” likening her apparent accent switch to her policy flip-flops. 

“She changes fake accents like she changes policy positions and political personas,” Whitlock wrote on X . “Today she’s talking in a fake southern accent, pretending to be a moderate. Next week she’ll be back to San Francisco liberal.” 

Comedian Terrence K. Williams charged that Harris was “pretending to be black southern woman” by “using a fake accent.” 

“She is mocking southern folks and pandering for votes,” he argued .

The vice president was born in Oakland, Calif., and raised in the Bay Area before attending Howard University in Washington, DC, and the University of California’s Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco. 

Harris does not have any apparent Southern roots, as her father is from Jamaica and her mother was born in India.

Harris has previously faced accusations of putting on an accent to pander to certain crowds. 

In July, social media erupted when Harris appeared to speak with a Southern drawl during a rally in Atlanta.

She was also mocked online back in 2021, when during a trip to Paris, she appeared to mimic a French accent .

France Confronts Horror of Rape and Drugging Case as 51 Men Go on Trial

A man is accused of drugging his wife and then inviting dozens of men to rape her over almost a decade. The questions raised by the case have unsettled the country.

By Catherine Porter and Ségolène Le Stradic

Reporting from Paris

For years, she had been losing hair and weight. She had started forgetting whole days, and sometimes appeared to be in dreamlike trances. Her children and friends worried she had Alzheimer’s.

But in late 2020, after she was summoned to a police station in southern France, she learned a far more shattering story.

Her husband of 50 years, Dominique Pelicot, had been crushing sleeping pills into her food and drink to put her into a deep sleep, the police said, and then raping her. He had ushered dozens of men into her home to film them raping her, too, they said, in abuse that lasted nearly a decade.

Using the man’s photographs, videos and online messages, the police spent the next two years identifying and charging those other suspects.

On Monday, 51 men, including Mr. Pelicot, went on trial in Avignon, in a case that has shocked France and cast a spotlight on the use of drugs to commit sexual abuse and the broader culture in which such crimes could occur.

The accused men represent a kaleidoscope of working-class and middle-class French society: truck drivers, soldiers, carpenters and trade workers, a prison guard, a nurse, an I.T. expert working for a bank, a local journalist. They range in age from 26 to 74. Many have children and are in relationships.
