French language Q&A Forum

In one of the tests I took, I answered this question wrong:"Qu'est-ce que c'est que la Sorbonne?" means__

My answer was "What is it that is the Sorbonne."

Now I know the correct answer is "What is the Sorbonne?"

My question is why the original question should not have been "Qu'est-ce que c'est la Sorbonne?"

What is the need for a second que after c'est?

Why is it “on s’était donné...” but “on s’est inquiétés”?

Why is reposer used in the final sentence as a translation of leaving the tart to set? Doesn't reposer just imply leave it to rest (in the fridge) with no mention of setting?,

Bonjour.  I notice that the 's' of moins is not pronounced even though a vowel follows.  Is this just a rule, that you don't 'faire la liaison' with the word 'moins'?

Why does the written explanation say ne pas penser and then the examples have ne penser pas?

Can you explain if this is a misprint or which side of the verb pas should go please

To me, according to the lesson, it seems like "It was the last time that you told me you loved me" and "It was last time that you told me you loved me" could both be acceptable answers for this phrase. The lesson says to use "la dernière fois" to mean "last time" when it's followed by a clause. Is it not followed by a clause in this case - "que tu m'as dit que tu m'aimais" - and therefore could mean "It was last time" as well as "It was the last time"?

Good construction of phrases, using right tenses
