French language Q&A Forum

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

I've seen the word weekend spelled with () & without () the hyphen in different French publications. As this is an adopted English word is there actually any guidance for how to correctly spell this or is it just a matter of style?

"It is green" still gets "il est vert" marked wrong, despite the fact that it appears to refer to a specific item (as opposed to using "c'est vert," the preferred answer, which would indicate something more general--despite no indication of such in the sentence). Tired of having my score set back (I had to use up most of my free quizzes for the month to make up for this). Please fix. Would also be nice to have the "report it" button on the page that people seem to say exists but which I have never seen.

Hi, um does, "il mange de la glace" mean he eats sone ice cream, or he eats ice cream?

Mon chien favorit s'appelait Pip.  Why the imparfait here?  It seems a simple statement, neither ongoing, repeated nor descriptive.  It doesn't seem to fulfill any of the criteria of the imparfait.

Est-ce que on peut aussi mettre ce adjectif «délicieux» devant «gratin (n.)» parce que «délicieux» est un adjectif utilisé fréquemment dans la vie quotidienne?

Are there any patterns to looks for in the verbs that are conjugated with è VS. the verbs conjugated with the (ll/tt) rule? If not, are there any tricks to memorize these select exceptions from the (ll/tt) rule? 

I can't seem to get these two lessons down because I have no rule for distinguishing between the verbs which have distinct conjugations. 

Is this construction good for "There's none left [of ...]?

Can one also say 'dont les Celtes' in this situation?
