French language Q&A Forum

In the sentence which begins as "As for Grandad, he would slump into...", there are several acceptable choices for "slump into", including s'effondrer and s'affaler.  I chose s'écrouler based on a definition in Wordreference.  This was not accepted.  Should it have been?

I cannot quite figure out why the verb 'remplir' is in the form 'remplis'. Is it because 'remplis' is used as an adjective?

Why "fin janvier" but not "a la fin de janvier"

Je manque toujours les point d'exclamation.  Il y a un règlement sur le sujet? Comment peut-on savoir pendant la dictée, si un point d'exclamation est nécessaire? On peut entendre un ton dans la voix?

Why do some countries not have an article stated?

Bonjour,

Above in the explanation, it is mentioned that l'imparfait has no clear beginning or end. But when I attempted the Fill-in-the-blanks  Mon jour férié (Passé Composé vs Imparfait), there was a sentence - J’étais encore en pyjama vers 13h, (which is given as the correct answer). Whereas I had written, " J'ai encore été en pyjama vers 13h, and this answer was given as incorrect. But I don't understand, the end time is given here, (vers 13h). So why can't we select Passé composè?

Merci!

j'aime 'ramasser' instead of 'collectionner'

Is it right?

I am going to go and I will go seem the same in English. Can they be used this way in French? Is it a matter of preference?
