French language Q&A Forum

I’ve lived in France a little while now and for « On the floor, the tiles are blue like the ocean » I automatically wrote « Au sol, le carrelage est bleu comme l’océan », which was accepted, but in final translation I see « Sur le sol, le carreaux sont bleus comme l’océan ». Is mine more a spoken translation ?  

Hi how can you understand because i don't understand what comestibles mean

Can u add more like james got the Job thanks

The part of the recording beginning with "Elle adore..." up to " juste au moment..." is missing.

"Ils sont en forme de crânes." 
Why is it not, "Ils sont en forme des crânes."  IOW why is the partitive singular de for the plural crânes ?

The following appears for translation: I'm happy she got her exam.

I am 72 year-old English speaker since birth and living in the US. I have no idea what this sentence means. Does the question writer mean to say "I'm happy she took her exam" or maybe "I am happy that she received her exam (perhaps in mail?)". 

Ok, maybe I'm being a little facetious. It's January in Indiana and I'm going stir crazy....

Be that as it may, no native English speaker would ever say this. I think this calls for some rethinking. Maybe the question writer is going quietly mad in Vermont, or worse, Chicago.....

I wonder - why you said 'j'ai passé (de nombreux après-midis)' when every other past tense is written as the imperfect? Every thing done here was a repeated past action.
