French language Q&A Forum

A couple of the examples appear to use être in constructing the past tense:

Yann est passé par ton quartier 

While others use avoir:

Nous avons passé une semaine

And of course the poor old “domestique”. Don’t forget them! They make up an important part of the “coureur cyclistes” in the Tour and do lots of the tough work for their more glamorous team-mates but don’t get any of the glory. Thanks for the list. Enjoying watching highlights each evening here in Australia. 

Quels bonbons tu as choisis ?   as-tu choisis??

Quel acteur voudrais-tu rencontrer ?

 je dois dire que les chats de Cécile sont exceptionnellement beaux.  

une pomme à cuire = a cooking apple jumps out to me as an odd one out. You wash with a washing machine, iron with an iron and sew with a sewing machine but the apple is the one being cooked here. Is this a peculiarity of edible things or does the French just work differently to English?

I hear a different word before the word belle in the last sentence.  The text states the word as aussi.  I hear either plus or tout.  Do you agree?

I used "la chapelure." for breadcrumbs which was marked as incorrect. The exercise wanted "les miettes de pain". According to the dictionary I used, both are correct. Can anyone clarify? Thanks

I love this Alsatian news broadcast. So funny! The play on words are superb: Prime Minister Cresson and watercress; the S P meaning "ça prûle"; the Haut and Bas-Rhin with reins. So funny. Most of all, l had the acute feeling that l was in France, but maybe in Germany...maybe France? Great way to teach the discombobulation Alsatians have experienced over time  through being attached to this country and then that and then this one again. The presenter's suit and tie etc.,  say it all. 😀 Thank you! A fun end to my French learning today.

Is féerique a possibility in the last line?
