French language Q&A Forum

So while you can’t say ‘J’ai des autres chaussures’ , can you say ‘j’ai besoin des autres chaussures?’  More important, how would you say ‘I have some of the other shoes?’ How is that not ‘des autres chaussures’? 

Hi, in “Ce jour-là, tous les gens qui me connaissent le savent bien,” why are both connaître and savoir conjugated? There seems to be only one subject, so normally I find the second verb to be in the infinitive. 

Of course I try to spend less time on social media, but let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Here is a channel I found, which is fun to listen to, quite easy to understand, and helps to improve how French your French sounds:

My head is whirling after studying this long article, especially using the adverbs mieux / pire for making a general statement with être eg Ta télé est bien mais la mienne est mieux.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but surely in English you use the adjectival form here? You don’t say "yours is well …mine is better" but "yours is good…mine is better".

 I think there is scope to highlight this more fully. [Edit: and indeed the Lawless article on Bien vs Bon that Chris referred to 4 years ago, actually says that bien is an adjective when used with state-of-being verbs]

Lis-tu des romans de temps en temps ?

I really love this story so much don't you?

In this sentence where is the "you" as the sentence in English was "or we could give you a refund"? why are these English words just being omitted and how are we meant to know when to omit them?

Shouldn’t it be Viens-tu      Also achètes-tu     

HI,

My friend and I were wondering who would be correct. 

She said: The sentence would be vous venez à hurt heures ce soir?

But, I told her the sentence should be Vous venez à vingt-deux ce soir. Since it would be the 24 hour clock for 8pm. Would I be correct?

Thanks
