French language Q&A Forum

How would you write "Question of the Day"? For example, each day my french class starts with a "question of the day". I've been using jour but now I'm worried I've been incorrect.

I found one of your recent posts awhile back and now I fully understand it. It helped me a lot and now i'm hoping it will help me do better with the tests.

thanks again

A male sheep is called a ram in English and I thought a male sheep in French was a bélier? Is it that people in France call male sheep "mouton"?

Thanks for clearing this up because I was a little confused...

I wrote "leurs carrieres" since the speaker is describing multiple actresses and their careers. This was marked wrong.

I redid the lesson, (link below), which covers this topic, and there are several examples, such as "leurs parents" and "leurs chaussures". It seems that this topic has come up in the Q&A before, but I am still confused as to when to use the plural form and when to use the singular when one is referring to more than one person and their possessions. In this case, it seems that saying "leur carriere" would imply that all the actresses are sharing the same career.

Any help would be much appreciated. Otherwise, I enjoyed learning about Aissa Maiga. I will certainly google her. 

Notre/nos/votre/vos/leur/leurs = our/your/their (French Possessive Adjectives)

Merci a tous et bonne continuation !

P.S. Apologies if this question appears twice - the first time I posted it, it simply disappeared, so I've rewritten it here. 

The detail says to use Mon, ma or mes but the first to examples use son, sa, ses.  Why is that?

The commentary is simply too fast. May I suggest that you have a slower speed, in addition to the present one. Duolingo does this, and I find I need to break down the words -- then, I can play the faster speed, as I know conversations aren't done in a slow speed. But, as of now, the words simply run together and I can't discern individual words.

Sorry to add to an already long thread, but I have a feeling that when using "on" as informal "we" (rather than impersonal "one") I’ve seen "nous" used as the stress pronoun, not "soi". Is that right? 

What are the positives and negatives of moving to the countryside in French

I understand the lesson as it is taught above. 

In the lesson for future antérieur (Conjugate vouloir/pouvoir/devoir in the future perfect in French (Le Futur Antérieur)) there are sentences like "Nous aurons voulu le revoir". Why not Nous le aurons voulu revoir?

Is there another rule applicable when using future antérieur?
