French language Q&A Forum

Hi just for further clarification, is it when the 'people' are anonymous and a group e.g les peuples, les gens, les acteurs etc etc can you use'en' to address them? And is it then only when people are named like Marie, ma mère etc etc that you have to use de + stress pronouns?

Salut! 

Quick question here. I understand that this is the conjugation for prendre in the present tense, however the examples given all appear to be present continuous. For example: "You're learning French" is given instead of "You learn French." I'm just curious, is it common for present tense verbs to translate in a continuous sense like this?

(And if so, how would "Tu apprends le français" functionally differ from "Tu en train de apprendre le français"?)

Thank you for the clarification! 

Cheers,

Do "Ma soeur est Lady Gaga" and "Ma soeur hait Lady Gaga" sound the same? 

can you use Donc, instead of Alors for 'so"?

why do you have to say " c'est plutot difficile?"  and not c'est un peu difficile?

My question is about a quiz question in this unit: "J'ai décidé d'apprendre à jouer du piano cette année." How do you know it's "apprendre *à* jouer" instead of "apprendre *de* jouer," for example. I think that French verbs differ in this respect, but I haven't seen any systematic explanation of it, and I don't even know how to talk about it in a way that could make internet search productive. Do you have any teaching materials about this, or can you help me to understand it better? Thanks in advance.

Please help me with the answers and appropriate reasons

Thanks

Why does one use allons gagner instead of gagnerons (future tense)?  What determines which is better?

The two words are the same to me, would someone explain their difference?

Hey guys, 
I know the correct answer is as eu ,but why not avais ?!
Isn't the sentence like describing something in the past as L'Imparfait?!
