French language Q&A Forum

One of the examples in this lesson reads, "Tu vis en dehors de la ville." I was wondering about the distinction (if there is any, subtle though it may be) between saying that and saying, "Tu habites en dehors de la ville."

Why aurait and not ferait, after all, elle fait froid.

Hi as I am learning about this expression I'm trying to find an audio clip with just this expression to practice saying it by itself but, I can not find it.

Thank you

I was wondering how you would put combien into a question with inversion; and I couldn't find any lessons adressing this specifically. This occurred to me while thinking about the question "How many words in the dictionary?" Would it be:

Combien de mots la dictionnaire a-t-elle?

Combien la dictionnaire a-t-elle de mots?

La dictionnaire a-t-elle combien de mots?

Or would it be something different?

Anyway, I just need to ease my curiosity.

I need a class on passé compose and l'imparfait 

Can u arrange it svp

My nearly correct answer was "à 2 heures de Chartes". Why was it not completely correct?

By the way, according to the BIPM (Bureau International des Poids et Mesures), the official way to abbreviate "2 heures" is not "2h" but rather "2 h" with a space. See page 149 of

Great exercise on the whole. I will say (and this is likely because my ears are novices) that I still can't hear the "ne" in "si ça ne te dérange pas ?" I heard the "pas" so assumed it was there.

«Faire de qqn» proved to be a difficult expression to track down anywhere. It was suggested by deepL - but without any explanation, of course. Looking at questions below, it seems others have pondered over this as well.

A hint here that it is literally 'make of me' would be very useful. Of course, in English we usually leave 'of' out, and just say 'make me', or move the words around to 'make (something) of me'.

Did there not used to be a button to 'TRY THIS EXERCISE AGAIN'? I like to repeat these writing tasks several times to reinforce new vocabulary and expressions. When I go to the button TAKE ANOTHER WRITING EXERCISE I then have to search the exercise again out the whole list of writing exercises... quite time consuming

how will i know where to use etre and where to use avoir?
