French language Q&A Forum

Anyone have an opinion on this please ? Is there any ambiguity in French ?

"elle a une collection de chapeaux impressionnante." Surely this should be:  "elle a une collection de chapeaux impressionnants."

It is the hats that are impressive, not the collection.

If the collection was impressive, it should have been: Elle a une collection impressionnante de chapeaux, or possibly

Elle a une impressionante collection de chapeaux ( don't think this second one is as good, but it may be ok).

Thanks, Paul..

Can we say je voyagerai autour l’Europe in place of Je ferai le tour de l’Europe?

how do you figure out which one to use in a sentence 

I thought you were not supposed to use "ne" with Jusqu'à ce que

Why "de couleur" ?  I would have expected "la couleur" or "de la couleur".

I’ve seen things like:

Je veux qu’elle vienne

Je ne veux pas qu’elle vienne

But I haven’t (yet) seen:

Je veux qu’elle ne vienne pas 

Does this occur in French? Can the “ne pas” wrap around the subjunctive verb?

Re the English phrases cited in the Tip, in British English we still say "disembark from" a ship (even though there does seem to be a campaign currently to expunge prepositions from the language).

In the lesson above the audio for “On veut qu'il sache ce qu'on ressent.”. Sounds out the “ent” part of “ressent”. I was expecting to hear just “resse”. Could you comment?
