French language Q&A Forum

Hello! In a question the correct answer was "vous répartissez les tâches." and not "répartez" that I wrote because I thought that this word comes from "partir" so they have the same conjugation. My question is: répartir is actually NOT a derivative form of the verb "partir" ? And if there's another word "repartir" (and what is its translation & meaning) without accent aigu that has the same conjugation as "partir". Thanks!

C'est pour A1, vraiment ?

Si c'est A1, je n'ai pas de chance a l'epreuve de B2 dans 4 mois.

Meme si j'ai reussi  a A2 il y a 2 mois.

My comment relates to English rather than French usage in that I think some non-native English speakers may be confused by the sentence in the second example you give. "Sarah didn't use to trust Thomas" The past participle of "to use" in this case is "used " not "use" although it may be that common America English practice may differ. You could employ "use" to say that "I didn't use the books you suggested" but you would need "used" in front of an infinitive such as "I used to live in London" or "I used to trust you". I refer you to Fowler's Modern English Usage 2nd Ed. p670 where it is pointed out that the modern expression "he used to" replaces an arcane "he uses to". Just to point out that English can be just as exacting as French. Cordialement. K

Je constate que tout les leçons de Français sont en anglais. J'ai entendu que c'est mieux d'apprendre un langue dans le même langue. 

Cest-tu possible d'avoir les leçons écrit en français? Selon moi ça serait utile pour tout le monde.

Merci :) 

Hi, this is more a "is this something people use?"/"What does it mean to the person you say it to" question, not a grammar problem.

The example "La grossesse va bien à ta femme" comes off as eyebrow-raising-rude to my English speaking brain (maybe it's a regional difference? I'm American and from the southeast). Is this something people would actually say/use or would it get you side-eyed around the world? I feel like my brain must be taking it too literally.

Does the word intensivement not exist in French? I used it in a test and it was marked incorrect and intensément given as the correct version.
