French language Q&A Forum

Bonjour.

Désolé. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi cette phrase est incorrecte (it was marked as such in the results of the quiz):

Seems like we have the question word at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the inverted verb and then the subject, no? 

Vous êtes entré-pourquoi il n’y a pas un “s” à la fin du mot entré

I was definitely listening to this exercise in French but the answers were shown in English with various options provided.  That's not how this usually works, unless I've been drinking too much eggnog...

In the fourth sentence, chouette refers to papa. Is is a term of endearment, like honey or chou-chou?

Bonjour, why is it not 'nous sommes arrivées'? I put an extra 'e' because Marie is a female.

How do I identify a masculine or feminine noun?

Hi Kwiziq

When trying to answer the waterpolo query, my study notes indicated most of the time “jouer à” was used for team sports; plus if a ball is used, also “jouer à”.

I therefore used jouer, and it was marked wrong and I was supposed to use “faire de”.  

Any comments on how you can help us to remember/learn this topic?  

Thank you in anticipation.

Jo
