French language Q&A Forum

Hello, after adding a subject to my notebook and then reviewing the notebook lesson for that subject, it would be helpful to immediately be able to do some practice exercises on this subject alone, without having to do a kwizz covering all your dashboard subjects. Is this (getting exercises for self-selected subjects) possible?

Is fils strictly to be used only in context of describing family and relatives? 

Salut,

Je préfère la chaleur parce que je suis frileuse. 

Mes questions:

1: Comment ça se fait que "descend" est suivi par "de" dans le text?

2: Je pense que "petit" est un adjectif apposé, mais où est le nom qu'il complète?

Merci

Bonjour, et merci pour les exercices que vous avez postés ici ... Je suis venu sur le site depuis la vidéo donc je compte comme nouveau! Cela a été assez utile, alors je l'ai partagé avec des amis! Continuez avec le bon travail .. Je suis bon en grammaire en français mais pouvez-vous faire une vidéo "Comment épeler en français"? Merci encore, meilleurs voeux!

Note also that you use qu'est-ce que if it appears at the start but quoi at the end.  

:: This sentence is a little confusing, do you think this is more clear 

Note;

you start a question with "qu'est-ce que"; in order words, "qu'est-ce que" only appears at the start of a question. However, you end a question with "quoi"; in order words, "quoi" only appears at appears at the end of a question.   

Example

Qu'est-ce que tu fais?
Notice how the sentence starts with "qu'est-ce que"

Tu fais quoi?

Notice how the sentence ends with "quoi"

The sentence tout le monde éclata de rire quand ils ont vu uses first the passé simple and then the passé composé. Why is the same form of the passé not used for both ? I read in the Lawless French article on the passé simple that it's not used in conjunction with the passé composé (https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/passe-simple/).

I haven't come across this before. Could someone explain it's meaning?

My attempt was different from the quiz’s offered answers. But is it okay? ->

“et cette fois, je serais d’accord à sortir avec Paul”

Is it arreter (not s'arreter) because "ce que je faisais" is the object and s'arreter as a reflexive can't have an object??  

And unlike 'the rest of the day' (journee), I felt better 'in the evening' is not obviously 'duration' so why soiree not soir, especially when this morning is matin?

Why faire (bien) DE venir when faire doesn't have to take a preposition and A is the normal connector in those circumstances?

Is there any rule at all to determine relaxer vs se relaxer vs detendre vs se detendre?

And on and on it goes ...

If we had a dog, is same as.. if we were to have a dog, which would seem to be imperfect, not passé composé. You have trained us to use imperfect in this situation:  Si nous avions un chien.......
