Questions & Answers about L'animateur répondra à chacun.
Why use chacun instead of chaque in this sentence?
Chacun is a pronoun meaning "each one" or "everyone", so it stands alone. Chaque is an adjective meaning "each", which must be followed by a noun (like chaque personne). Since there is no noun after it here, we use the pronoun chacun. We use the masculine form because it refers to a mixed group or people in general.
Why is there an à before chacun?
In French, the verb répondre (to answer) requires the preposition à when you are indicating who is being answered. You are literally saying "The facilitator will reply to each one."
Does l'animateur mean "the animator" like in cartoons?
How is the future tense répondra formed from répondre?
To form the simple future of regular -re verbs like répondre, you drop the final -e from the infinitive to get the stem (répondr-) and then add the future endings. For il (the facilitator), the ending is -a, which gives us répondra.
