French language Q&A Forum

mine is the James se présente and 

Selon moi j'étudie depuis 2 mois en France = I have been studying in France for 2 months

J'ai étudié pendant 2 mois en France = I have studied in France for 2 months.

Est-ce que c'est faux pourriez-vous m'aider 

Hello everyone, 

I was just wondering if you could give me some tips to use this website effectively, as I can't figure out how to remember the information. The topic tests aren't enough, so I was thinking to make flashcards, but that sounds straining. 

I'm doing IB and I need some tips - anything helps.

Thank you.

I believe there is an issue with the recording on the last sentence, I can report it to support if you like but thought I would post it here first. The sentence is Mes progrès sont encourageants !

The issue is around the sont word. I should have just thought about what made sense instead of just what I could hear, but it just threw me and I wouldn't wnat it to affect other beginners.

Hi. Could 'sauf' have been used in "...mais il n'y avait rien d'autre à faire qu'à téléphoner au garage et attendre"?

Also, could 'rien de plus' be used instead of 'rien d'autre' or do they not mean the same thing?

This video failed to upload in the United States.

For the sentence,  j'ai grandi en regardant les matches avec lui, how come it's not in the imparfait? He was growing up over a period of time, and watched several matches during this time, so it was a repeated action. I thought it should be imparfait. Please advise.

The correct answer of this sentence is : Je n'avais qu'une ambition

Can we also translate it as ' Il ne me restait qu'une ambition ' ?

 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

Hi, I'm a bit confused if we can use "bon" for a person?

It's from this sentence [Il est très bon] when the "il" refers to Tom Cruise .

Appreciate your help, thanks!
