French language Q&A Forum

First of all, is it "Vas-tu retourner à faire tes devoirs" or "Vas-tu retourner faire tes devoirs".

 Then, can respond with "Oui, j'y retourne."

What can I do to make the accent grave stay?  I press it; it appears; and then it disappears when I press return.  It is then recorded as a mistake.

So, _____ + je = nous. If we are part of the group or speaking informally, could we use 'on' with the he/she/it conjugation instead?

In the book "Grammaire en dialogues. Niveau intermédiaire" by Claire Miquel, chapter 12, there's a dialogue which starts:

Benjamin : Quand est-ce que j'aurai une moto?

Le père : Je te l'ai déjà dit : quand tu auras passé ton bac.

Benjamin : « Quand j'aurai passé mon bac », c'est dans longtemps ! C'est dans six mois !

From my point of view, there's no much sense to promise anything for taking (being at) an exam instead of succeeding it. Could you please clarify this?

A small niggle.  Prior to the sentence, "I am not sure", I believe there is no indication as to whether the customer is male or female.  The exercise corrects the response, sûr, to sûre.  How were we to know that the customer is a woman without being told ?

Bonjour!

Can we say: 'Julie est arrive en retard tous les jours'? 

"Le français est parlé couramment par ________ 200 millions de personnes dans le monde."

French language is spoken by more than 200 million people around the world.

I put "plus que" since that felt like "more than" but the correct answer is "plus de." I'm struggling to understand this since it doesn't fit the same structure as the lesson examples (e.g. French is spoken by more people than Italian).

Thanks for any clarification!

The English is "I have always wanted."  To me, this is a description of an ongoing feeling.  So I think "J'avais toujours eu."  The correct answer is given as "J'ai toujours eu"  To me this is a description of a single event.  Can anybody explain?  Thank you.

Hi,

In the above examples, the je/tu/il/elle/on conjugations sometimes use plaî--- and sometimes use plai---. Is this an oversight or is it intentional?

Thank you.

Bonjour, si vous veuillez, expliquer svp pourquoi il n’y a pas le subjonctif dans la phrase : Avant tout, il est primordial que vous identifiez au préalable

Merci beaucoup
