French language Q&A Forum

Hi... I was wondering why i have to put Je viens de + (city) instead of Je Viens à + (City) ? like J'habite à Paris.. Isn't it for city i have to put à ?

Mon text est en anglais.  Je veux le voir en français.  Comme je fais ça?  Merci

&Can you please clarify the meaning here? The translation,   Paula doesn’t think much of the environment, is a bit ambiguous (and awkward ounding).  In English this could mean (and one would more likely say) either “Paula doesn’t care much about the environment”, or “Paula doesn’t spend much time thinking about the environment.”  But of course they mean different things.  Which meaning applies here?

I'm also looking forward to an answer to Ted's question below. In addition, the lesson contains the heading 

  If in Exer the x stands for any other letter, that would include eler and eter, so why does the heading expressly state them?

Why does one say 'appelez-le' but 'téléphonez-lui'?

Hi Aurélie,

I notice a few people have asked the same question about the sentence - Tu lui as parlé' being translated as 'You talked to her' but parlé not agreeing with a feminine ‘lui’. You have said that the past participle doesn’t agree with an indirect object pronoun, and refer people to the advanced lesson: Special cases where the past participle agrees...  However that lesson only talks about direct object pronouns and doesn’t actually say that the past participle doesn’t agree with an indirect object pronouns. I wondered if - for completeness and clarity - you could add that to the lesson, if it is not covered elsewhere. Many thanks.
