French language Q&A Forum

I often find it difficult to know whether to use [le/la/les] or [du/de la/des]. I do know the difference, and mostly it's obvious, but sometimes it seems to be optional. Take the case here, at the end of the exercise.... pour jouer aux jeux vidéos, as opposed to ... pour jouer à des jeux vidéo. Any advice please?

i'm Scottish and "passer un exam" would be translated as "to sit an exam", so "Vous avez passé votre examen" to my mind would be "You sat your exam". 

Just commenting :-)

Actually the good old fashioned dictionary is quite specific about the use of these words, and 'un immeuble' is most definitely 'a block of flats' and funnily enough not 'a block of apartments', but there again, it is a proper English (English) - French dictionary. Block of apartments - how pan loafy is that (translation-upper crust)

This lesson would (will) be much more understandable when it includes (or at least highlights) one example clearly identifying «le futur anterieur» event has occurred before some other event. There is one described in the Q and A example Cécile gives below «Nous vous téléphonerons quand nous serons arrivés = We'll call you when we get there», and some, but not all of the examples above. Many of the examples depend on an implicit, or poorly defined time sequence. With at least one well-defined example - in the lesson, not in another reference, not in the Q and A (a section which is often a mess to navigate through and too easy to miss things in - and noting that the other examples should be interpreted to include similar 'past of the future/future' pairs, this lesson would be considerably improved, in my view.

If a bag (sac) is described as heavy wouldn't it be lourd not lourde as sac is masculine?

What do you need to do to improve your CEFR level?

Hi, is there anybody know how to get through B1, especially its grammars? I have been starting this level for a month and I think it's extremely difficult. At this point I just wanna give up and I start to hate French to be honest :(

I wrote 'Martin aime Sarah ' for the sentence Martin likes Sarah but it was corrected to 'Martin aime bien Sarah'. I know 'aimer 'is tricky and I studies the lesson  but still don't understand the difference. 

In the 4th sentence: entre chercher les œufs et les manger, why are these verbs in the infinitive form. I thought they would be in the gerund. Thank you!
