French language Q&A Forum

I'm having trouble understanding when to use stress pronouns vs. indirect object pronouns.  The sentence "quand un inconnu s'approchait de moi":  Why would this not be "quand un inconnu m'approchait"?  Would it be different if the verb wasn't reflexive?  

Quand je fais les dictées en classe, le prof indique toujours les marques de ponctuation. Donc, je suis énervé quand on ne le dit pas. Est-ce que c'est normal de les indiquer, ou non?

I was doing an exercise about what in subject, the phrase was: Jacques est descendu du haricot magique". I translated it as "Jack climbed down the magic beanstalk" and the system told me that the correct answer was "Jack got off the magic beanstalk". Why?

J'ai appris beaucoup de cet exercise. Pourquoi il n'y a pas le mot "pas" dans la phrase .....qu'ils ne soient nés en captivité...?  Merci.

Hi,

The word game is not really very helpful to revise the words. Can you add simple tests that evaluate from English to French and French to English? Always with the articles of course 😊. 

Thanks

Are there more lessons about this pronoun ? I am asking here because Google is being less than useful

Hi, I wanted a clarification about how to translate the passive voice. In the example :  « they were welcomed by » in English would be different than « they have been welcomed by ». The first exemple for me : « ils étaient accueillis par » and the second « ils ont été accueilli ». If it is accurate, I had test with translating this first example in French, and after being wrong I was wondering which one was right ?
