French language Q&A Forum

The video in the following lesson says that it has no relation to the present

I thought "ignorer" was one of those false friends and actually meant "not to know" rather than "ignore".

Can you clarify?  Thanks.

The translation function does not seem to be working for this exercise.

Merci

In a couple of academic articles I'm reading which are written in French, equations are numbered things like: "(2.1)" for "equation 1 from section 2", "(5.15)" for "equation 15 from section 5", etc. How would one pronounce these numbers? For instance in English, I would pronounce "(2.1)" as "two point one" and "(5.15)" as "five point 15".

I pressed the report button, and it only opened up another identical page! I only wanted to report to technical staff that i hear an "s" between the end of voudrais  and the following tu. This is NOT a question.

Hello

Could you please explain why the pronoun 'en' is used in this phrase? I am having difficulty recognising when to use en and what it means in this context. Thanks.

Just commenting again :

I wasn’t phased by the speed of this dictation per say, but I missed out on a couple of words due to the liaison in spoken French and not fully understanding what was being said. If i’d thought more about the English translation i’d have got one of them. I think it’s beneficial to hear the language spoken at normal speed by a native speaker, it sharpens the ear.

there's a question to fill the blank: mais ... m'a vraiment surpris. the answer is "ca", why can't it be "il"?
