French language Q&A Forum

I recently ran across a guideline which contradicts the quiz sentence "Il est venu pour voir Sarah" associated with this lesson!!

'Venir' is purportedly one of the verbs which does not take  ANY  preposition before the following infinitive  when the context is 'come 'to do 'action of the infinitive' ! So he came to do what.. to see Sarah!  So (according to that guideline ) the preposition 'pour' is at least superfluous here if not invalid! Please clarify.

What is the necessity and meaning of "dessus" after tomber?  Why not just "bonnes choses vous tombent"?  Good things fall on you

Why is it "Nous faisons des progrès" instead of "le progrès?

"Give birth" - why not "donner naissance"?

Hi,

I thought esperer did not take the subjonctif unlike souhaiter.  

Thanks

I couldn't tell the difference among 'Je suis allé '(mas) et 'je suis allée'(fem)  ou 'nous sommes allés' et 'nous sommes allées'  from the audio. In everyday speech, is there any change in pronunciation?

Not sure who to ask this question, or if it is the wrong box.

How is that I can read French, paper, books etc, but have problems with speaking and writing the language.

I really would like an answer as my feedback is not really helpful

The suggested grammar sections to read did not relate to what I got wrong, which was mostly prepositions or vocabulary. Does that mean you don’t have lessons on those points? Maybe you should add them. I don’t think you should test on points that you don’t have explanations for on your site.

I enjoyed your quiz on using à vs de, but I've had no success in locating a lesson where you illustrated the differences.  Can you share?
