French language Q&A Forum

For the above question, I am marked wrong for putting "le 1 mai", with the correct answer being "le 1er mai".

The lesson text implies to me that either are correct. It states that French dates require cardinal not ordinal numbers and includes "un (1)" in the list of examples of cardinal numbers. The "le premier (1er)" is then listed as an exception that "we do use". It is not clear from this whether "1er" must or may be used.

Could this please be clarified? 

As you can see, in such cases, tout becomes toute in front of feminine adjectives, but only when they start with a consonant or an aspirated h.

But in the above examples tout did not become toute...what am I missing....???

Hey! Can someone explain to me as to why we include the "à" after "pas" in this sentence? Thanks.

Nous ne nous attendions pas à une telle déception!

I don't see in the lesson where it explains when to use the subjunctive conjugation for commands versus standard imperatif. Thanks!

Why Couldn't we tell Dans l' Yorkshire ?  '' 'Y'is a semi vowel right ?

I could not find rules for punctuation on your site. I tried other sites on line but they seemed confusing and inconsistent. I am sure you could do a better job explaining the rules that you follow.

Something I've been noticing throughout the lessons is that there does not seem to be a rise in intonation at the end of the questions in the French pronunciation (see example above in: "Vous ne devriez pas etre a l'ecole"). Instead, the intonation sounds more like a statement. Do the French not have an uplift in intonation at the end of spoken questions?
