French language Q&A Forum

HI I'm in grade 10 learning french, We have a test on Metaphor and Irony and you need to identify whether Irony was used or metaphor was used. My question is as my first langues is English's how can identify whether metaphor was used or irony was used in french!!!!!(Like key words or how the sentence flows)

Leave my sister alone! 

Would Laissez-la! Carry a greater sense of gravity than Laisse-la! ?  

"La fois dernière" = Noun

"La dernière fois" = Adverb & noun

I got a question wrong, looked at this lesson again and got confused by the whole "followed by a clause" thing (tricky to remember) and I thought that maybe this would be a easier way for me to remember it but I don't want to be lead down the wrong track.

Wish could explain more how en dans du etc in the example is right for you.. some are obvious.. what if you do not know what is a region city province  etc etc.. do not specifically show in beginner questions why exactly your example follows the rule.  it is rudimentary boring for you.. else its back to having to memorize what is correct what is not. especially in the beginner examples. so frustrating. 

Can you please explain why we us de le together.  I have always been told you must never use de le together. You can use du, de l' or de la.  This is a first for me.

Bonjour,

Could you please explain, why during the pronunciation of "Il est une heure" the letter "t" connects to "une" but in "Il est onze heures" the letter "t" does not connect to "onze"? Is there any specific rule in this regard?

Why did you use vieux here even it is proceeded by a vowel word ,"aujourd'hui.it must be vieil accordingly.
