French language Q&A Forum

In the question...

Comment ________ tes vacances ?How are your holidays going?... I wrote "vont" instead of "se passent". Why is that unacceptable, given that you can say "Comment allez-vous?"? Can you only use "aller" with people to mean "go" in this sense?

Why does magnifique come after the noun in "J'ai vu des endroits magnifiques." but before the noun in "Tu as acheté de magnifiques vêtements."

If this is the beauty, age, goodness, size rule, wouldn't magnifique be classified as beauty or goodness for both? It must be a different rule I've forgotten about!

Please how do I access the lesson links listed, because each time I tap on it, it Alway bring's out system error.

Can you tell me, again, how to change to a French keyboard in Windows?

Bonjour

I wonder what is the reason on its incorrect.

Is it because that it's too formal?

Merci~

Tout le monde ______ des notes pendant la leçon d'histoire. C'était ennuyeux.

I've checked a couple of dictionaries, and I think oxide is not a french word, and it should be oxyde.

I did a small double take with this question because the English "He’s been to" is a past form of "he goes to" not "he is ". You can say "he was in France" but with a slightly different sense, more vague and without any emphasis on the going (UK English ). Perhaps this is my blind spot, but it isn’t a French construction I’d met before so I’d like to know if it’s a. common and b. idiomatic /informal?

(Apologies for reposting this question from a week ago: it’s gone from Q and A and wasn’t answered. Maybe the Helpdesk removed the post because I queried a similar sentence "On a été faire les courses = We went shopping" in a passé composé exercise.)

Question on a test: “What are all the possible ways to say 3 o’clock”  Marked incorrect for NOT choosing the following highlighted answer. Why do I need “de l’après-midi” if I am using “quinze”? Isn’t it obvious that I am speaking of the afternoon?

Why do we say j'en ai .... When we also have "de cette période".  Why use the pronoun en when the thing we are replacing is still there.  Eg j'ai plus qu'assez de cette période. In english it sounds like , I have had more than enough of it, this period of..... Is that correct ?
