French language Q&A Forum

I would translate this as 'who are you speaking to? but I know the correct translation is 'who is speaking to you?' and I don't understand why so I wonder if you could explain please?

In the writing challenge "At Uncle Robert's 70th birthday" we are asked to translate "when I'm done with all that".

The suggested answers both use "en". E.g. "quand j'en aurai fini avec tout cela".

I wonder why "en" is required? I expect it to replace "de qqch" but in this sentence isn't that role - specifying what is being finished - supplied by "avec tout cela"?

Is there a lesson on Kwiziq that gives an example of this usage? It is not really included in En can replace de + [phrase] (French Adverbial Pronouns)

So, the lesson on combining nouns says to use some form of à when describing a taste and the lesson gives the example of "glace à la vanille."  That seems consistent with my memory of "pain au chocolat."  So why is it "les œufs en chocolat" and not "au chocolat"?  Thanks.

How to form interrogative?

Is it as simple as little bits of chocolate? 

Hi

Why is the test answer as follows: Je prends cette rue en dépit du panneau stop instead of en dépit de panneau stop?  I couldn't see any explanations for this on the lesson, I could on see du used in the exception en dépit du bon sense.

Thanks

Thought espérer does not take subjuntive.

I am totallyconfused by some of your English translations for the Passive

eg

How are you differentiating in English between Passé Composé and the Imparfait?  Eg "Ils ont été accuellis par le xxx and "ils etaient accueillis par le xxx". You translate the second sentence in the tests as "They were welcomed by " but then how would you translate the first sentence??  When you ask fir a translation of "The boy was welcomed by" you can't mark it wrong if one gives answer in passé composé as opposed to "imparfait"?
