French language Q&A Forum

Hi Jim,

Thanks very much for your response.  My query was based on my understanding that, 'lui' referred to their invention- the hot air balloon, which is inanimate. Further clarification would be welcome.

Dear Kwiziq Team,

It has been more than 24 hours that I paid money to upgrade my account. I received the receipts from your side on email as well. But my account is still not upgraded. I have written multiple times to your email id  and have not received any reply. Also I contacted on the phone no. provided but it was unavailable. I have left the message but no reply.. Please let me know how much time do you take to upgrade after receiving the payment. otherwise please refund my money.

...in the following:

“et qui lui ont promis de lui montrer la vie...”

“et qui lui ont promis de lui faire découvrir la vie...”

Is this (a) a mistake, (b) just my ears missing the sound, or (c) a natural French abbreviation (a bit like “tu as” being pronounced as “ta”)?

In "it is going to cook the yolk" the verb has an object so it used transitively. Shouldn't the French be "faire cuire" rather than just "cuire"?

Une mère dit a son fils "Qu'est-ce qui t’intéresse beaucoup?"

Une mère dit a son fils ce qui l’intéresse beaucoup   or  Une mère dit a son fils ce qui lui intéresse beaucoup. 

Please clarify.  TIA.                                                                                                            

Est-ce que les arts de la cuisine est aussi une possibilité ?

'I share my apartment with five people, including one girl.'

I realise the lesson is about 'dont', but could one use 'compris' or 'y compris' instead of dont? If so, which, and would compris need an e because the girl is feminine?

Is there a differente using Tout autour du monde instead of dans le monde entier.
