French language Q&A Forum

In this sentence - 'William Jones déclarait au sujet de cette langue ancestrale : "La langue sanscrite...' - why is the imperfect used with an action that happened only once, and on a specified date ?

Hello, do I understand correctly that en is used here because there are two object pronouns?  Pierre m'en a offert.

it's  funny how all french courses keep saying "oh but you forgot that in french there are male and female nouns"

NO I HAVEN'T. i just cannot possibly remember who is le and who is la, after one month of learning language. and yet, not a single app/website that i've used so far seems to understand that.

"use de when something is uncountable". bro, i'm here because i had no idea if beer is du or de la, and i wouldn't be here if, for example, the quiz used water instead of beer.

they all seem so disconnected from the audience they are trying to teach...

Bonjour - Can someone explain the grammaire for  "je vois l'architecte arriver"?  Why is "arriver" an infinitive?  Merci!

In this sentence why is it not 'était fournie', to agree with 'une paire'?:

une paire de boules Quiès étaient fournies

What would "some teacher" be in french if not -"un professeur"?

If it was "some teachers", It would have been ... something else?

I find it inconsistent that at one point the text says 'en alternance avec de tulipes pourpres' while later it says 'l'éclat des soucis orange'.

Is there a reason why the second phrase isn't 'l'éclat de soucis orange' - or would that have been equally acceptable?
