French language Q&A Forum

Since other French speaking countries use words like septante,octante and nonante it would be nice to mention them in the article. I get that you don't want to confuse beginners but acknowledging their existence for those that might have an interest into learning those alternative words might have been neat.

Not really a question and more like a suggestion.

I think a better translation for: "Je tins la robe avant d'aller à la soirée." is , "I wore the dress before going to the soiré"  the "correct" translation, "I held the dress before going to the soiré" makes little sense, the response could only be, "Oh?".

Is it correct to say “que achètes tu?”

Why is it 'on en achètera une fois qu'on sera arrivés" and Not 'on en achètera une fois qu'on arrivera"

I don't understand when to use these two "en" and "le/la". For example:

La liberté d'expression est un droit fondamental mais il faut ________ respecter les limites.

I know that "en" refers to La liberté d'expression, but why can't we use "la"?

I have finished with all the recommended lessons for A0: Entry Level.

How do I start with the next level A1: Beginner?

Merci

If a tangerine is "une mandarine" in French, as per this lesson, what is a mandarin in French? Is it "une tangerine"?  (which would be quite confusing to English speakers)

Why "comment s'est passé ton séjour en Alsace en famille " And NOT "comment est-ce que ton séjour en Alsace en famille s'est passé"

Please explain

If the expression was write your name here, an action for signing an agreement, could you use ecrivez in place of incrivez which means register.
