French language Q&A Forum

I was surprised to see my use of "cet après-midi" corrected to "cette après-midi". So I looked it up and found that both genders are used for that phrase.

I think in informal conversations we say like -

Il est pas jeune 

instead of the more formal and more 'grammatically correct' one:

Il n'est pas jeune!

Is it correct !? Responde Sil vous Plait! 

Personally I think the vocabulary:- sauter is harder than se jeter, and I would add it to the list/ swap them.. this is a good test for listening for the imparfait.. thanks

I know that she did not say Tu vas l'adorer but why didn't she?  Is it an idiosyncratic expression that doesn't require an object?

Tu ne vas pas au clup?

....., Je suis allé hier.

Is it correct to use (Si or Non)

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?".

Je vais déposer les quelques si je comprends 😂😂😂

The very first example given of when to use "c'est" is:

"C'est une jolie robe."

This clearly refers to a specific dress.

But then we are told that the answer to "Tu aimes mon pull?"  should be "Oui, il est très beau."

Why is the rule for a specifc dress different than the rule for a specific sweater? Is it that "il/elle est" should be used when answering a question about a specific thing but that "c'est" can be used otherwise? 

The pronunciation of ‘paysage’ was too difficult, I could not recognise it. Otherwise I did Ok.
