French language Q&A Forum

i thought with body parts it was usually 'les' which should be used.  In the suggestions during the exercise, there were options to use either. Does it depend on the verbe (trempe or plongé) ?

Why is the answer "We will make a cake in a bit" and not "We are going to make a cake in a bit"? I can't see a meaningful difference between the 2 options in English.

Thanks in advance!

Lesson was: cette chanteuse a un ... kind of talent. How does certain translate to a kind of. Thanks. 

what’s the difference between il fait du soleil and il y a du soleil? 

What is the difference between temps and époque? 

The correct kwiz answers indicate "Bien sûr qu'on se déteste!" translates to both "Of course we hate each other!" and "Of course we hate ourselves!"

These English translations have different meanings -- i.e., "I hate you and you hate me" versus "I hate myself and you hate yourself."

My question:  does the French sentence also imply these two distinctly different meanings?

. . . it would be great if you could provide both English and French grammar explanations (e.g., right now I am studying "Using prepositions with celebration days, like Christmas," which only has an English grammar explainer). 

The reason is that some of us either a) have access to French-speaking friends/acquaintances, so being able to do extra probing of a grammar point with them IN FRENCH using technical explanations would be helpful or b) like to do further research on line using French to find additional detailed French-language explanation of grammar points, or both.

In the above question the answer is cela,. Can it is alternatively written as " je le lui ai promis "

What's the difference in french between saying I took my exams and I finished my exams?

I am having trouble with a duration of time vs a precise moment. I thought that the sentence, THAT evening went very well, as a precise moment and therefore masculine. Why is it CETTE soirée s'est très bien passé ?
