French language Q&A Forum

Hello! Can I ask why a student (étudiant) is count as a profession. I met this in one of the quizes and there was no article in front of it. Thank you in advance!

Hi, with reference to “la Belgique a la plus basse proportion de McDonald's par habitant.””

In French, is the apostrophe really used in this way? It looks like an English possessive apostrophe. 

Can we say Avons-nous to mean "Have we" rather that "Est-ce'qu on a " ?

Can anyone explain this; la diane means reveille as well as a name

"Parvenir" goes with être and "Convenir" goes with avoir (unlike venir) in Passé composé?? Same goes for "Survenir" (goes with être) and "Subvenir" (goes with avoir). Where can I find all such cases of Venir??? The list given on Kwiziq does not have these verbs - https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/grammar/verbs. Please help.

il se maquille - he is making himself up; il se fait maquiller - he is having his make up done - is this right?

While the lesson is clear that the le passé composé is used here to use depuis for negation, I'm not sure how to ask the question that leads to this response: 

For example: When was the last time you your mother saw you? 

- Is it: Quelle était la dèrniere fois/Depuis quand ta mere t'a vu/te vois?

In either the case the answer would be in passé composé: for instance: Elle ne m'a pas vu depuis longtemps

Thanks!

I should have submitted this post in the general forum here:

So I deleted the post from here, and posted it in the other forum, using the same title.

Sorry.
