French language Q&A Forum

please do you have something for beginners?

I believe that “I arrived the day he left” refers to a non-specific timeframe and therefore should use the feminine form, but it was marked wrong on my test and the masculine “la jour” was said to be correct instead. Can someone explain to me why this would be the case, or if it’s an error?

HI everyone,

So to my understanding reading the previous answers to the questions unambiguously would mean both am and pm? 

Also I know the two different ways to say the numbers in both 12 hour and 24hour but,  and as I'm reading the responses it seems that past 6pm you would use like deux treize quatroze etc. Would I be correct and if it's past midnight would it be the same?

Thanks

Nicole

The bot marked "lave-linge" as incorrect, but according to the Larousse dictionary or good old Google exists as well.

Salut a tous.

Ma question concerne l'utilisation du pronom "dont"  ici. La phrase ci-dessus peut traduire comme soit "The books I think of are remarkable" soit "the books i'm thinking about are remarkable." étant donné que penser peut prendre la préposition 'de', cette dernière formulation permet l'utilisation de "dont", n'est-ce pas ? S'il vous plaît donnez votre avis. Merci en avance.

Vois ici: De qui/dont/duquel = of/about whom, of/about which - with prepositional verbs with "de" (French Relative Pronouns)

The audio for WC sounds like “VC” instead of “double VC”. Is this an error, or is it in fact how it is said in that context in France?

Somewhere in my past studies, I was told that using "bien" with "aimer" actually lessens its meaning from love to like.  Did I get that wrong, because in my recent lessons, it's used more as an intensifier.  Sorry if I missed this on the thread before.

Cette nouvelle aventure m'enthousiasme = this new adventure excites me.   But "enthousiasme " isn't a verb (is it?), so how does this clause work?

Does the use of this phrase (When something has happened, something else will) automatically make the "something else" far enough in the future to use futur simple rather than present tense ? Certainly some of the examples here would likely be fairly soon in the future, but they all use futur simple !

Why is it "la plus parlée *au* monde"? The relevant lesson says to use "de": Forming the superlative of French adjectives in complex cases
