French language Q&A Forum

Could you say, « À quelle heure est-ce qu'on arrive ? »

Salut, 

thank you in advance to anyone who can help me! I have three questions:

1. Of these three forms which would a French person use the most naturally in speaking and writing?  

2. Is it OK to use "duquel" and "de laquelle" when referring to people and not to things? 

3. If the verb is one which takes a different preposition (not "de") what should we use instead of "dont"? 

Merci beaucoup! 

Why "Il a mangé la moitié de son pain" but "Il n'a mangé qu'une moitié du biscuit" ? The grammar note does not explain this.

Please can you explain why 'Rester" is used in this answer to a test question rather than simply using the future of to sit and, secondly why not 'il finisse' after jusqu'à ce que?

(I did post this earlier in the week but have not had a response. many thanks)

Il est après-midi 

or

c'est après-midi

Hi why is subjonctif after "quelque chose que vous puissiez poser contre l'arbre". Is there any rule for that ?

Hi. For Le Père Noël viendra..you accept only Santa will come..as the correct answer. Why not also Santa is coming and Santa is going to come as they all express future happenings in English ? 

Cheers,
