French language Q&A Forum

In regards to the last section about food, when do you use 'À/Aux' compared to when you should use 'De'?

Bonjour,

I am A2 level and would like to know what online resource I should use to reference words and phrases in french.

Merci

JoAnn

In the passage, ”...nous nous sommes tous assis pour partager un festin”, I only hear one nous.

How does one conjugate a verb when this occurs? Do you conjugate the verb with its form with the subject or of the object?

Having this question in the quiz, I understand why the answer should be "son". What I don't understand is why there is no "pas" in the negative expression? (n'a oublié pas son billet)?

When I look up "failli" in Google translate, it has "bankrupt." Yet the words "failli sursauter" translate as "almost startled" (comme "presque sursauter).

So it kind of means "You failed to be startled"? (Failli faire, mais no?) Wow... that's a stretch.

Is the meaning of "presque" (almost) slightly different then? 

On test the question was to mark those words that were masculine.  I marked carpe.  It is both feminine and masculine.  The answer was wrong.  I should have gotten it marked as being correct.  Trick question about word endings.

the conjugation of "lire" goes on like "lis" can someone explain how does it work? how come there's an "s"?
