French language Q&A Forum

When I write “Il est dix heures” as one of the accepted responses to a specific request to translate precisely ten o’ clock in the evening, it’s marked as incorrect. Yet, elsewhere, it’s stated as an acceptable response to a person who knows you are talking about the evening rather than the morning. So, it should be marked as correct along with the other two responses. In my opinion! :-)

I'll be right there in English is actually the use of the future continuous tense, as is I'll be there in two seconds.   I'll is a contraction of I WILL.
Not a good example for using the present tense in English.

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

une paire de boules Quiès étaient fournies

According to Larousse, Collins and Academie-françiase, « serre-tête » is invariable. Word Reference and Robert list «serre-têtes», but it is not the 'official version' apparently.

SERRE-TÊTE. n. m.■  Ruban ou coiffe dont on se serre la tête. Des serre-tête.

Is there a list someplace for French verbs that are always followed by à?

In the sentence:

You threw away the shoe with the broken heel

Would the following be an acceptable translation, instead of using as in the example?

Tu as jeté la chaussure avec le talon cassé .

 à jamais was new for me. jamais I only knew  as "never" But I see as an adjective it can be "for ever" ! Is it always used with à in this context?

so jamais = never

à jamais = for ever
