French language Q&A Forum

"à plusieurs reprises" was not permitted for "several times", is it an incorrect answer in this context ?

Thanks

Paul.

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a section for beginners for the placement of adverbs like we have for adjectives?

merci

Hi, I just came across this on a test and I wrote that it could mean Jack descended on the giant (as opposed to the stairs ) and this was marked incorrect but in the explanation it states that they descended the stairs requires avoir as the auxillary verb so I cannot see why descending on the giant is any different? They both have a direct object.

I am a bit confused about this. Thanks

Good morning. Respectfully, French Canadian does not only mean Québécois.   It includes them and they are in fact a majority but we have many other French Canadians across beautiful country. Thank you. 

is there a list of verbs that do or do not take the ne expletif

For the sentence, - J'ai plein de parfums !, would - J'ai de nombreux parfums ! be acceptable.  It was not given as an alternate.

In the second-to-last sentence in this dialogue, the character doesn't change back to the customers' voice (the last 3 sentences are all in the waiters' voice). It sounds like the waiter is asking himself if the restaurant has sparkling water. I know this is a help desk issue, but I suggest a Report Problem button be included in these lessons like the regular lessons have in order to report these glitches more easily.
