hi,
I was wondering what is the easiest way to know when something is in the 12 hour clock or when something is in the 24 hour clock? This seems to be my most problem in this section of understanding.
thanks

Is the ¨s¨ always pronounced in this usage (i.e. ¨plus que¨, ¨plus ... que¨), or are there some conditions for when it is and is not pronounced (i.e. ¨plu que¨)?
(This may be covered in another lesson, but might be a useful tip for this lesson)
Why is the plural form of "complimenter" used in this sentence?
There seems to be a new font used for posts in the forum. The font looks smaller and "sturdier". In my opinion it is harder to read than the original one. Also, it is more difficult to distinguish bold from regular. I don't know what you guys think, but I'm no fan if it.
I just asked my French son in law if he or his friends or family ever call it "Saint Sylvestre", and he says,
"non on ne dit jamais ca, on dit juste le nouvel an."Is it really very common to say Saint Sylvestre? Could that be regional, eg in Paris as opposed to southern part of the country where he's from?
Hi -
I was trying to work out how you would say 'if the weather is good, we can take a walk in the park'. From the above it looks I can either use Se Promener or Faire une Promenade, but im not sure how to combine these with Pouvoir. I assume using 'Faire' it would be:
-s'il fait beau, nous pouvons faire une promenade dans le parc.
1) Is this correct?
2) Is there a way of saying this using the reflexive verb/conjugation with se promoner?
Thank you :)
I realize this has come up before but it doesn’t seem there’s been a satisfactory answer yet: Why is only “On peut toujours trouver plus fort que soi” and not also “On peut toujours trouver plus fort que soi-même” correct?
In the quiz there was this sentence: By the time you were ready, the bus had already gone. We had to write the part up to the comma.
The answer given was Le temps que tu sois prête.... That to me translates as By the time you are ready, not were ready. How would you write: By the time you are ready the bus will be already gone.
Les vampire ont des longues dents pointues. Il y a des adjectives avant et après le nom dents. Pourquoi?
"Contre-la-montre" - what a great word!
