French language Q&A Forum

The question in the test quiz "Cette année, Michaël ________ perdre du poids" is marked wrong if you enter "doit", it wants "a besoin de".  Whilst this is correct in the context of this lesson, as far as I can see looking at the lesson comparing the use of Devoir and Avoir besoin de, the use of "doit" would also be reasonable.

One of the questions that I keep getting on here is asking for how to say “what is a baguette” - it provides the ending of “... une baguette”.

It says that the answer is Qu'est-ce qu’ and that Qu'est-ce que c'est is incorrect

According to this lesson, would both be correct along with C’est quoi?

why cant we use Les questions rather than des questions.

Hi,

I thought esperer did not take the subjonctif unlike souhaiter.  

Thanks

This is soooo complicated — you can see how many questions you have gotten — could you please move this to a higher level? Personally I don't think it fits the CEFR definition of this level.. 

Bonjour .

Me being a beginner of the language French, usage of Alors and Donc baffles me.

Can someone help me of how to use both these in practical context.

Merci Beaucoup

Why is this question marked incorrect in my test when the question says specifically to use "devoir." If we are to use "devoir," then the correct response is the one I gave, "devrais  dût manger," not "aurais dû manger." The "J' " is incorrect if devoir is used per the instructions, as the answer should be "Je devrais dût manger."
