French language Q&A Forum

I would like to see my own translation again alongside the correct one.

Can you use 'tandis que' instead of 'pendant que'?

Petite question. Je n’ai rien trouvé concernant un doute que j’ai où le sujet dont on parle s’agit de plusieurs noms et avec quel mot on doit faire l’accord.

Exemple:  La liste des mots que j’ai apprise.  

Would 'doué' have been as good as 'talentueux' here?

Personally I din't like this exercise at all

In this lesson the note about the conversational past states that in these cases, the en will be before or after être: formally, it should be before, but in practice, it often ends up after.

Following this advice I put "Nous en nous sommes allés après le dessert.". This was flagged as incorrect, and "Nous nous en sommes allés après le dessert." as being correct. 

This seems inconsistent with the note. I see there have been other questions about this topic. To me, "nous en nous sommes" flows off the tongue better than "nous nous en sommes".

"C'est une petite lampe de bureau en forme de phare breton. "

"C'est très joli ! " 

I am reading

"C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French

Based on that,  I am thinking this:  we have a specific item here, not a general subject like "La science", 

so  we can't use 2a - c'est  for general, unspecific statements and opinions

so why isn't it using : 2b "il est/elle est  for statements and opinions related to specific things"

= Elle est très jolie.

Thanks Paul.

Jai choisit cette expression mais elle n'était pas juste. Votre ordinateur a remplacé 'des' avec 'les'.  Peut-être que vous puissiez regarder ça ? 

"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.
