French language Q&A Forum

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

Sentance was given Quand vous y êtes retourné whereas the correct is Quand vous y êtes retournés

The sentence to be translated:

And then, after taking a deep breath,

The correct response given is:

Et là, après avoir respiré un grand coup

Why is là used? I wanted to use puis but it wasn’t given as an option. 

Would puis work?

Bonjour,

Would it be correct to say

Une belle robe

A pretty dress

Un bel Enfant

A beautiful child

Merci

Nicole

I think the native speaker would say 'I have hardly any' rather than 'I hardly have any'. 'Hardly any' is an expression, I think.

My understanding was that "Du" is a contraction of "de le". Why do we use "du" but not the equivalent "de la"?

Thanks!

I know these lower level dictées are meant to be spoken slowly to suit beginners, but I find that with the over-enunciation, I often hear words that aren't there. Not sure whether this is a good thing or not?

For example:

-J'adore voyager

-C'est mon passe-temps favori

I hear :

-j'adore à voyager

-C'est mon passe au temps favori

The answer suggested "taille" for size but, in immersion school in France, I learned that "pointure", not "taille", is the correct way to say size when it comes to shoes.
