French language Q&A Forum

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

can we use the" N'est-ce pas un livre" in order to  ask a negative question? or do we have to use just "est-que" at the begining of the question? Thank you so much 

n'est-ce pas un livre? is that true?  

I wish your helps

The use of 'many' is unidiomatic and characteristic of language lessons, rather than of spoken English. As this is a French lesson, not an English one, you may not regard this as critical. However, 'I have read many books' and 'He sent me many flowers' sound uncomfortably like translations from French or sentences spoken in fiction by a stereotypical francophone character. I would suggest that a native speaker would be more likely to say e.g. 'I have read a lot of books' or 'He sent me lots of flowers'. Yes, these are less direct translations of the French wording, but too much language tuition across all media has been and continues to be based on unidiomatic explanations and translations, not to mention the deployment of idiomatic expressions which no one has used for half a century.

It cuts out just after one minute and a few seconds - I was just getting into it too

And this lesson is mentioned as "explain this". Whilst the lesson really explains usage of le / la, in this case it does not make any sense because I previous lessons did not have either of those four words, so a student just doesn't know what those words mean.

Hello, 

I just took the quiz and it said I also needed to have En as well besides putting L' but it doesn't specify more then one it just says how would you say?. Can you clarify this?

Thanks

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

Sorry for posting another question.

I believe that it’s good to be frank to my teacher and hence I would inform you that I was unable to understand the answer provided by Monsieur Chris(though it was accurate)  to the question on the following link->

I request you to please provide me with a comprehensive answer to the same which would enhance my learning.

Merci Beaucoup Madame !
