French language Q&A Forum

In one of the tests the answer included « choose one or the other. » We would normally say « Choose one or other (of them). » ‘The one’ or ‘the other’, sounds clunky even if grammatical.  :)

Quel est le genre grammatical de 'Paris', et pourquoi pas 'à la campagne' au lieu de 'dehors de la capitale' ?

Whew! I listened to this section a dozen times and was not anywhere close to that answer! 

Maybe consider adding ¨hollywoodien¨ or something similar to the pre-lesson hints...?

My new school bag is blue and yellow

I answered: Mon cartable neuf est bleu et jaune

Kwiziq wanted: Mon nouveau cartable est bleu et jaune

I took the phrase to mean that the bag was brand new, so I used "neuf". Is the phrase ambiguous or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Why is it "je te l'avais dit" and not "je te l'ai dit!"?

Thanks!

Dear Céline,

I would be most grateful to know why "du" appears in "Vous vous rappeler du petit restaurant italien ..." and "de" in "Tu te rappelles ton professeur de maths."

Could you also say here ' nous étions allés écouter des chants de Noël à l'église locale.'?

Sa femme peut-être avait toujours voulu visiter la côte ouest ? Mais les mariages sont souvent mystérieux 😆
