French language Q&A Forum

Why is passé composé used in the first sentence, Je n’ai jamais aimé… ? If you never have liked the seaside, not before and not now, isn’t that an ongoing feeling and should therefore be in l’imparfait? Isn’t it also expressing an opinion and should be in l’imparfait?  What am I missing? 

Bonjour 

Can we use il est né le dimanche 

Il est né un dimanche 

Which one is correct? And why?

Loved this set of weekend workouts!

1.    Is there any significant difference between using emmenager & demenager?  In my classes, we've usually used demenager for "moving"

2. Why is it 'quelques annees' instead of 'quelques ans'?    at Il y a + [durée] = [duration] + ago (French Expressions of Time) , the example is given as Il est venu à Londres il y a cinq ans

My grammar comprehension through the quizzes is proceeding well. I am 1/2 way through A2; but my listening comprehension is lagging. I seem to be at A1 at best; very difficult to understand spoken french. Should  i be spending more time on listening and less on grammar, or do i need the grammar (future anterior, simple past etc) to understand spoken conversations?thankstony 

In the third sentence, we are given the hint to use "on", but then marked wrong when we used it instead of "nous."

Can you explain when the verb s'installer can be used? Is it just an alternative for s'asseoir or does it have more meanings?

Bonjour,

I am not sure if the correction below is right. Could you please explain?

I find it inconsistent that at one point the text says 'en alternance avec de tulipes pourpres' while later it says 'l'éclat des soucis orange'.

Is there a reason why the second phrase isn't 'l'éclat de soucis orange' - or would that have been equally acceptable?

In test answer  "Ces leçons ont permis  à Fred d'améliorer son français" why is the  à  and the d' doing?    

Il est né un dimanche

Il est né le dimanche

Which one is correct? Can't we use indefinite articles with the days of the week ?
