French language Q&A Forum

Hi, 

I was wrong when choosing “ tombée” in  “ Marie- France est ( tomber) de son vélo”. I agreeed the gender of subject( in this case, I think it ‘s feminin) as “learn and discuss says. Why? Is it that the subject here falls sthg ,not the subject falls. And past participle has to follow the gender and number of object in this case? Thanks.

I am pretty sure I hear fière vice fier.

Just wondered if we can say "Il faisait froid tout hier soir" to emphasize "all night long"(though it doesn't seems correct to me).

I don't understand why "depuis" is used here despite the fact that we use "depuis" for ongoing actions as stated in the lesson below.

Using the present tense (Le Présent) - and not the compound past (Le Passé Composé) - in sentences with "depuis" (since/for) in French (French Prepositions of Time)

Can infinitif passé be used with avant de under some circumstances?

Here's an example sentence from my French class:

Il n'ira pas jouer avec ses amis avant d'avoir fini ses devoirs.

The question was to correctly conjugate the verb finir in the bolded place; I'd written finir (infinitif présent) in the first place.

in the sentence le dernier mois ou' la vraiment le raisin arrive a la maturite.

it should be quand and not ou'

Can you say "elle m'a tendu le doigt" instead of "sa doigt" because you know it's her finger?  I thought when it's obvious to whom the body part belongs, the French prefer not to specify as in "J'ai mal à la tête."

Nous nous l'imaginons blonde aux yeux bleus

Can't you just say "Nous l'imaginons..."

In an A1 focus test  I wrote"ton père est DANS la prison" because a prison is a physical enclosure. It was marked as incorrect. could you please explain why? Thanks.
