French language Q&A Forum

I had the same problem that Kathleen had even after I listened to it a number of times.  Of course, once I saw the correct version, it was wonderfully clear!

I don't understand  why 'je suis en classe' is correct but 'Sarah est en classe' is incorrect

1. Can we use des salades mélangées instead of des salades compasées?

2. Can we use glaces instead glaçons? I looked it up on Google translate. Glaçons means ice cubes while glaces means simply ice. Wouldn't it be better to use the more general word ice? 

So when does one use mille and milliers de?  Are they interchangeable?

can one also say "où je passais tout mon temps libre"  since dans lesquelles refers to a place.?

Let me know if this is correct: in the passé composé, the past participle agrees with the direct object? The answer was "Tu les as vues" - the direct object was feminine plural - thus the -es to the past participle "vu." I experimented with Google translate, and this seems to be the rule but I haven't found it on Progress with Lawless French, so I wanted to double check.

What is the meaning and use of 'que'?

In French, does à cette époque trigger the passé composé or the imparfait? I can´t remember. I was thinking it would trigger passé composé because, ´at that time', in my mind is a specific time frame. Or, is this triggering imparfait because it´s setting a scene? In this example, it said...'j'étais plein de doutes à cette époque. I´m guessing this is a reoccurring idea around that time.? My initial guess was j'étais because it sounded better in my ear, but I changed it to passé composé due to the à cette époque. Thoughts?

Hi,

I thought that "vieux" can be singular AND  plural but the quiz says it is only singular.

I have never seen  14.052 in English.  I missed this one but still don't understand what it means.  The French is 

14 052.
