French language Q&A Forum

Question 1)  Comment se sont passées vos vacances ? Should it not have the final 'es' ?

Query 2) If a question is asked using the past tense, can the reply be in the imparfait?

I am confused about the questions regarding Sentir bon and Se sentir bien.  For example the sentence ‘I smell good’ can refer to two different things in English. ‘My sense of smell is good’, or ‘I physically smell good.’ How do we know which the question is being asked when the question is posed in English to be translated into French.  I believe there would be a difference in translation, am I correct in this thought?

Would "À bientôt !" be an acceptable answer?

The lesson says Quoi? is a bit abrupt. I did not think one would wish to abrupt to someone who said, "I love you," to me! In the test, you said Comment? was wrong.

In England, if you ask 95% of the populace if they use the word 'whom' they will look at you with a puzzled expression. Stop confusing french learners with this extinct conundrum.   Move on

Should we are going to Portugal be nous allons au Portugal or nous allons dans le Portugal.

Why is it "était DE" here? Why is the "DE" used ?

hi,

I was wondering what is the easiest way to know when something is in the 12 hour clock or when something is in the 24 hour clock? This seems to be my most problem in this section of understanding.

thanks

Pour moi, question 8, on the 8th February 2023, Nous ne voyons personne» means : ....I put 'we never see anyone' which you have said is incorrect. In english We don't (do not) see anyone, can also mean 'we are particular who we see'.  Is this the same in french for Nous ne voyons personne, if so why is it not clarified? 

commence par une vocale et que quand il commence par une consonante, est-ce qu'ilya une règle?
