French language Q&A Forum

I understand that "raide" is more common but is "lisse" incorrect? In what context would you use "lisse"?

Hi there - this topic is giving me the biggest trouble. Crafting questions!

Is there any advice or guidance or on how to approach this? I cannot seem to connect with this at all. Thanks!

In english, if someone is upset, or if something's going on, i might ask "what is it?". I'm not exaclty asking the meaning of something but im wondering about a situation if that makes sense.

So would the french translation in that scenario be "c'est quoi/qu'est-ce que c'est"? Or does that only refer to a noun. 

I hope I'm making sense.

I didn't finish this exercise the first time round. I've come back to it - a long time later - but unfortunately it doesn't remind me which words/phrases to look up in advance, so had to guess all of them! Please could you do a reminder for when this happens?

What are the situations in which we add « de » like this? Is it a general rule for talking about rates? 

Thanks!
