French language Q&A Forum

I am just wondering why 's'envolait' (a one-0ff event), when above this sentence you had written 'Il a travaillé extrêmement dur', which would have been over a much longer time period. 

What's wrong with my Kwizig tests and quizzes? They are mostly faulty in the way they are presented. for example, a multiple choice pull-down on direct object pronouns, answers all in English, etc.

Pourquoi on utilise comme elle ne doit pas sortir. Pourquoi pas ainsi que où pour que ?

This is a really comprehensive lesson. Cécile even provided a list of words beginning with "h" in the comments above but included only nouns and verbs. It would be great if you added a list of adjectives beginning with "h" so we can see which ones follow which rules for "tout" all in one place. 

How exactly do you know when to use "des" in French?

I am trying to determine when to use 'emmener' and when to use 'amener' and to some extent 'apporter'.  All of the examples seem to imply that the first two refer to people, whereas 'apporter' refers to things.  Is that right?  Is there any guidance regarding the usage of 'emmener' vice 'amener' ?  Both translate to take or bring and in some contexts the meaning is lead.  Thanks.  

In “Et il arrive trop souvent que les enclos soient trop étroits pour leurs occupants.” What triggers the subjunctive? Should I consider “il arrive que” to trigger it as a general rule?
