French language Q&A Forum

When  i learned French in my youth ( I am now 91), the passe simple was called the Past Definite in English, is that still so ? We were also told that its use was confined to literature and it was not used otherwise. Is that correct ?

Hi, I don't understand the meaning of this sentence, "Je suis déjà passé chez le pharmacien mais les anti-douleurs qu'il m'a donnés n'ont malheureusement fait aucun effet."

Does "passé chez le pharmacien" mean to actually stop in and consult with the pharmacist, rather than simply passing by the store? This would indicate that passer has more complex meaning in this type of situation. Please advise.

What do you mean by "question word"?  eg. (question word) + noun +  reflexive pronoun + auxiliary verb + pronoun + past participle,

Why is "celle" the correct answer  to this

 "J'aime ta robe mais je préfère ________ que Laura porte," 

rather than "laquelle"?

Aren't they both pronouns identifying one among others?

Hello, after adding a subject to my notebook and then reviewing the notebook lesson for that subject, it would be helpful to immediately be able to do some practice exercises on this subject alone, without having to do a kwizz covering all your dashboard subjects. Is this (getting exercises for self-selected subjects) possible?
