French language Q&A Forum

The tittle of the passage is 'A quoi ça sert de trier ses déchets' is translated as what is the use of sorting our waste? Our=notre / nos? and ses = his / her / its? Please help understand if the translation is correct?

Hi,

I was wondering if there was a list of the sports to know whether or not it is jouer or faire? i do know which ones are masculine and fem i just need to know how you determine which is faire or jouer.

thanks 

i had scrolled down and found Céline's answer and it made more sense.

Is it alright to use "Pourrais-je vous offrir une boisson chaude gratuite en attendant ?" What would be the difference in using pourrais and puis, if any? Thank you.

What is wrong with in question 4 answering "seulement" - it sound perfectly idiomatic.

in french how do you say they/them pronouns without it being pluralized? I know iel for they but i’m having trouble finding a singular them

I've heard this as a song title, but all of the examples above are sentences with auxiliary verbs, so is this correct French?

In the lesson you state:

English is my native language and I would never say "neither one nor the other". I would say "Neither the one nor the other" or better, as offered "Neither." "Neither one nor the other" just doesn't sound right. "Neither one" seems sufficient (and a third alternative) making the addition of "nor the other" seem superfluous and inappropriate. I wonder if this isn't a dialectical difference within North America.

...why prise and not pris? Which rule would apply here?
