French language Q&A Forum

Hi,

We can't hear "Apportez un pique-nique."

In this article, it says that when talking about specific things we should use il/elle.

Yet in the example, we see a sentence that says:

   C'est le fils de Martha

Wouldn't we have to use il est instead of c'est here ? Just how many kids does Martha have that we have to use a generalizing statement like c'est instead ?

This lesson is very confusing.  Wow. I have so many questions,  I don't know where to start!

is translated above as:

I guess a woman's past from the way she holds her cigarettes

I would have translated the French to read "I guess a woman's past by the way she holds her cigarettes.

In the lesson it says:

As for the years post 2000's,

There is only one way to read them, and that is as a full number:

But there are still many years to come after the year 2000 (infinitely many actually). 

So, how would you say 'the 10th of March 2155'? (my 200th birthday :)

"Le dix mars vingt et-un-cents cinquante cinq" or "Le dix mars deux mille deux cents cinquante cinq" (or neither)?

I used avoir + monte because in the notes it says this means - to go up, but the answer uses etre.  Please can someone help me with this?  Many thanks, as always!

how can i distinguish which verbs with direct object, which with indirect object? i did a lot of wrong answers because of that.
