French language Q&A Forum

Bonjour,

Can I use des longtemps as the duration with pendant, ie, je vais vivre en france pendant des longtemps? Or is longtemps not considered a specific time frame?

Merci :)

Recently I came across " Qu'est-ce qui ce passe ?" and was informed it was a standard expression in French. I would like to know more about this expression (and any other related ones). A search of Kwiziq failed to come up with it. Merci d'avance,  Andrea

Is it necessary to use "toutes" in this sentence, or can one just say "...et soudain elles ont disparu?  Does it change the meaning somehow?

This example makes sense, as we can replace Lucie et moi with nous:

Lucie et moi allons au cinéma tous les mercredis.

However, in everyday spoken French, most people use on for the first person plural as the conjugation is easier (eg: On va au cinéma), where the conjugation takes the form of the third person singular. Given this, can we also use the third person singular conjugation here? That is:

Lucie et moi va au cinéma tous les mercredis.

Would it be correct to say "Je préfère notre maison QUE la leur" instead of "Je préfère notre maison À la leur" since "que" is often used in comparison? 

What is the meaning of 'très fleur bleue'?  I never heard that expression before.
