French language Q&A Forum

I click on the words and what pops is a strange “mathematical equation”, par example, “nous=709 nous=715 touche = 401…”. Pourquoi?

Hi, I saw a dialogue in tv series Better Call Saul. It was "I am not telling you anything until we talk about my dad " and French translation is "Je ne te dirai rien tant qu'on n'aura pas parlé de mon père.. What I want to ask is why "parlé" is used instead of "parler", why passé composé form is used in this sentence after future tense of avoir.

Thank you.

Which is NOT correct?

Ce qu'il dit est difficile à comprendre

Ce que nous faisons est presque impossible

Ce qui est arrivé est incroyable

Ce qui elle demande n'est pas raisonnable -- Correct Answer

I don't understand why this is incorrect.

“au-dessus de l’assiette “. When I read this I picture the cutlery floating over the plate. “Dessus de l’assiette” I can imagine the cutlery sitting above the plate. Pouvez-vous m’expliquer pourquoi on utilise au-dessus vs dessus dans cette phrase.

First of all, is it "Vas-tu retourner à faire tes devoirs" or "Vas-tu retourner faire tes devoirs".

 Then, can respond with "Oui, j'y retourne."

Why is my answer (deux milliards d') wrong? The lesson doesn't explain plural milliards.

Elsa has two thousand euros on her account.

Correct: mille
Incorrect: milliards d'

Should you say il est derrière la maison or il est en arrière de la maison or il est arrière la maison.

Would you say les hôtels since hôtels starts with a 'h'? Or is there some form of abbreviation like l' but for the plural term? 

I have two separate questions regarding the same example 

The first is…why do you use “sa tête” to mean “his face”? 

The second is…I am sure that there are many colloquial ways or common ways to express “should have” using the verb avoir in its conditional conjugated form when it’s not followed by “dû”, but is it actually proper French grammar? For instance, in one of the above examples, it reads: “Tu aurais vu sa tête quand je suis apparu devant lui.”  Its translation is “You should have seen his face when I appeared in front of him.” Possibly contextually it translates better to should than would. Perhaps if the sentence was “ Tu aurais vu sa tête, si tu avais été là.” Then it’s a true conditional statement-You would have seen his face (condition) if you had been there. So perhaps I’ve answered my question because this really isn’t a conditional statement However, I like rules, I like things to follow those rules (The Container Store is one my happy place-quote from Emily in Paris). I also realize that as I write this, the English language is known for not always following grammatical rules in one sense or another (although I can’t think of any because it makes sense to me as a native English speaker, so please forgive my hypocrisy). Please help me understand when avoir in its conditional form means should when not followed by dû.
