French language Q&A Forum

Dear Teacher 

I could not identify, When we use Après étres and when Après avoir? 

Best Regards 

Why could you not use étreinte or embrasser for hugging please? Enlacement only returns as one option in dictionaries and DeepL and Google translate so why is it preferred here? Thanks.

My husband, who is French, is adamant that 'avoir' is not used with apparu. Is it that this is a regional usage (eg Quebec v France or even South of France v Paris where he's from)? Or is it just uncommon? Otherwise, like many a native speaker, he could simply be mistaken!

Bonjour,

I found this sentence on wordreference when I checked the word profondeur: 

Ce gouffre a trente mètres de profondeur.

Is it correct??

Merci

Could you not answer Oui j'y crois ??

J'ai mangé trois mangues.

If ' trois mangues ' is underlined >> Je l'ai mangée.

If only  ' mangues ' is underlined >> J'en ai mangé trois. 

Is this correct? Or do we always use en whether the number is underlined or not.

Why is it une salade de fruits and not une salade des fruits  ? 

J'habite à Alexandrie en Egypte. Est-ce correct ?

Which is correct. Il fait beau or il y a du soleil?
