Can you guys make an update so we could move the line thx.

Why does the phrase take this form and not 'une lecture analytique d'œuvres' ?

Hi,

I thought esperer did not take the subjonctif unlike souhaiter.  

Thanks

Bonjour,

Can I use des longtemps as the duration with pendant, ie, je vais vivre en france pendant des longtemps? Or is longtemps not considered a specific time frame?

Merci :)

With the above examples the final 's' in 'je suis a' is silent. But when saying 'Je suis aller..' I have heard the s pronounced? Is there a rule for when the final 's' is silent or not?

Hi, I'm a beginner in French and I always get confused in using Je suis and J'ai. In my head (which thinks in English), sentences like 'I am 20 years old' is not 'Je suis vingt ans' but 'J'ai vingt ans' which literally means 'I have 20 years old'. Is there are hard rule when to use Je suis or J'ai in a sentence?

I think that since the spelling reforms introduced into schools in France in 2016, the circonflexe over the letter "i" is now optional in words like "s'il vous plaît (plait)". I believe that also applies to the word disparaître. But in this exercise it is shown as an error if we type "disparaitre" without the little hat. 

s'assoir is having a blue 'e' correction added, although both spellings - s'asseoir and s'assoir - are correct.

Salut,

How to say "I am Russian"? in masculine and feminine form?
