French language Q&A Forum

I put in some different answers from what was accepted and wondered if any of the following were possible. 

1. For "I really need to save", is it OK to use "il faut vraiment", or does "absolument" always naturally go with "il faut" ?

2. For "I've stopped buying expensive brands", can I also use the reflexive "Je me suis arrêtée d'acheter des marques chères" ?

3. For "and instead I've tried the supermarket brands" can we use "au lieu" in place of "à la place"?; and finally :

4. For "I must admit", can the verb "avouer" replace "admettre", as in "Je dois l'avouer..." or does this have a different sense ?

Thanks

It would be good to see some examples with que as well, not just qui or qu'

"If including / [number] of which is followed by a conjugated verb, in French you need to add a relative pronoun (qui or que / qu') in front of the verb"

What is wrong with the first?

depuis que j'etais petite pendant l'hiver, on a campe dans les montagnes dans le canton de Geneve. 

Very interested by Chris’s use of “depuis” in “Je regarde depuis de belles collines”. Does using “depuis” impact a slight change in the English translation such as “I have been watching from beautiful hills” or am I overthinking it.

It does rather put modern man in a bad light, but that aside a good dictation exercise.

My main point though is that the woman's diction was clear but the man's was muffled and difficult to understand.

What do the letters OVNI stand for ?

Hi. I thought negative opinions were followed by the subjunctive  and translated the above sentence thus: Je ne pensais pas que ce soit si intéressant.  Is that incorrect?

Thanks
