French language Q&A Forum

Hi there,

In the examples given in this lesson one of the speakers pronounce "Elle s'assied avec Paul/Elle s'assoit avec Paul" with the d/t at the end.
I thought maybe this was due to having a vowel following it, but on the other examples above there are also "Avec" following the Assied/assoit and omitting the last consonant!

 Any ideas?

Thanks.

Is it wrong to say "ils n'ont fait rien" instead of "ils n'ont rien fait"

I am uncertain why it is "de plus belle" and not "de plus beau".

It seems to refer back to le fou rire, which is masculine.

Maybe "plus belle" is a fixed term?

My dictionary translated this as 'événement sportif' and did not give 'épreuve' as an option.  When I used the same dictionary in reverse by looking up the translation of 'épreuve', the translation was ordeal, test, hardship but not sporting event.  Do I need a new dictionary? 

Hi Ted I want to say I have a sore throat in French 

In the first sentence.  Can you use 'autant que possible' in this instance?

I don't understand why the present tense - devient is used instead of the future tense.

Complète avec pourquoi ou parce que. Puis associe les questions et les réponses.

a ... tu ne manges pas à la cantine?

b nous avons des copains et des copines.

c'est jeudi, on n'a pas cours de français le jeudi!

d est-ce que nous n'avons pas cours de français ?

e est-ce que vous aimez le collège?

... je mange avec mes parents le midi.

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.
