French language Q&A Forum

Why we don't use " nous apprenons des mots de Pâques "? It can be translated as we learn some Easter words as I understand. Can you explain this to me please? Thank you!

This may be a stupid question but I'm confused by the position of 'le' in these two examples:
'Non, je ne le savais pas ' and 'Non, je ne sais pas le faire'
From looking at the first example I would have assumed the second sentence would be 'Je ne le sais pas faire' - please can you help?  

The lesson states that “dont” is a preposition, but I have always thought of it as a relative pronoun?

Thank you!

Bonjour,

I am not sure if the correction below is right. Could you please explain?

"l'hombre de grands arbres"  was my answer and it was wrong because I had omitted the "s" from des.  Can anyone explain why in this case one should keept the "s" on des?

For the sentence "je joue au beach volley avec Lydia et notre équipe gagne", why is "gagner" take the form of "gagne" instead of "gagnons"? I would think since it is "our team winning" it would be "notre équipe gagnons", but I think I am missing something here!

Is there anything wrong with «il commençait à lister tous les poissons» for translation of 'he started listing all the fish' or 'he started to list all the fish'? It seems a more direct translation and grammatically correct, (I think). 

this was my first C1 dictée. I have done all the B2 and B1 dictées so many times- but this is too difficult!

Did you recently overhaul the search functions? I think so, but maybe have just not been paying attention. Much better now anyway, especially for tracking down previous discussion on QandA forum.
