French language Q&A Forum

je viens de Riga! 

-if I want to say we are from Riga ,it is:........

I'm still somehow confused on when to use des vs. les. For example, in the translation exercises,

"and boys can play with dolls" is translated to "et les garçons peuvent jouer avec des poupées".

But I thought it should be LES poupées because it's referring to dolls (in general). Is this a case of either one working?

I've heard that both ceux(and all of its forms) and lesquels(and all of its forms) means the one. So, how do you differentiate? For example: Eva aime mes biscuits mais déteste ceux de sa tante. 

Please anyone help me to improve my speaking and suggest me conversation apps, YouTube channels, websites. How to speak more???

I’m interested to know if this common usage of "a present tense for the immediate future" has a snappier grammatical name in either English or French? Also just to check I have this right: it’s an informal way to talk about events that are both soon and definite.

why is partir right ans sortir wrong pleas. i thought sortir is to go out so would be acceptable here, but isn't

is for same question as below, will you have left by 4 oclock

I have read your answer to Liz and it still is not clear concerning “why is using dans le to indicate being in an actual dance class wrong?”

According to the notes: “dans + article + noun is used to refer to an actual physical place.”

A “dance” class is not specific enough?? 

Hi; 

I read this on a spead repetition program. It says:

It is windy today - c'est venteux aujourd'hui

Is this correct? Why does it use c'est insted of Il fait here?

Thanks

According to the lesson on this subject 'se faire' + infinitive is used with a reflexive verb and 'faire' + infinitive when it's not reflexive so I'm confused.

Bonjour,

I was doing this sentence and since there are two verbs croire and aller I know that you look at the second verb which is aller to determine whether to use peux or puisse and aller is Subjonctif so you use the puisse am I correct?

Maman, papa , croyez- vous que je_____ aller seule au concert samedi sour.
