French language Q&A Forum

Richard noted the adjective ‘violet’ changes with gender and number, despite being named after a real thing.  Cécile answered the question.  It took me a while to comprehend the answer, so if you don't mind I will add some comments to help myself and anyone else who might have the same difficulty.  I think what Cécile is saying is the name of the flower is "violette", not violet; and because the original name of the colour is "violet", not violette, the two are not the same.  They look close, but they are not identical.  If the name of the flower en français was "violet", the story would be different.

Hi,

I have just relearned about the verbs and also the subject pronouns what should I learn next as a beginner?

Thanks

Hi, I saw the below sentence:

Zoé découpe les images de papier.

Why not des instead of les? 

I believe it should be des images de papier because images are plural

Thank you

parce qu'il a deviné cela?

If it can be e acute or e grave why not e natural?  The Academy should give preference to simpler solutions!

I knew the answer to one of your test questions but because your application only offered three answers (and didn’t include the fourth correct one which was “sera” by the way) in the multiple choice options...well, obviously it didn’t grade me properly. This has happened before but I never complained. But could you look into it? Just check my most recent test (Être - Future Tense). Thanks. Valerie Oblath

This part of the lesson is really messing with my learning process. Please answer me this....In the example, "Tu manques à Lise", IS it or IS IT NOT "Lise misses you."  ???
