French language Q&A Forum

Hi!  I was wondering if i could use 'aux' for countries like Japan, Nigeria

Or is it just 'au'

Since USA uses 'aux'

Thanks in advance

Why is it "C'est là que j'ai appris" and not "C'est là où j'ai appris"? 

When using avoir as the auxilliary verb in the passe compose, I thought that the past participle had to agree with the direct object... so in the previous exercise there was:

"Nous avons nouri nos chiens" ...are not les chiens the direct object of the verb in that sentence?

"il a fini ses devoirs" ...are not les devoirs the direct object of that sentence...?

...I guess I have got something very wrong here... grateful for any guidance...

I took the quiz and got the answer wrong when I put 'Qu' est' instead of 'Quel est' – so I'm slightly confused because I thought that it should be Qu' since est starts with a vowel?

A little bit to fast for me. I'm (probably) A2 - ie, not quite at the dizzy heights of B1 (That seems to be an impossible dream at the moment).

Having read the transcript and read the translation, I was able to follow most (70%) of what the narrator was saying.

I thought French was supposed to be easy! (It isn't).

I'm killing myself trying to learn it. I'm a doctor and supposed to be smart but French is the hardest thing I've ever done....

HELP!

I didn't do as well as I had hoped yet for every response, I had portions of the phrase correct. I agree with the comments here that when the phrase is incorrect, you shouldn't respond with 'well done.' Also, it appears you are grading on the way you expect the answer to be; however, there are multiple ways to express the phrase and many of my answers were the alternative. Granted, the spelling was wrong and I missed some words but I understood how to express each phrase. I would profit from knowing what I need to work  on vs 'well done.' 

In the quiz above, there was a question about the sentence:

Après manger, les filles feront leurs devoirs

I was slightly confused as I would have written this sentences as "apres avoir mange" (with appropriate accents) at the beginning and not apres manger. In this lesson it seems to imply that to write apres+infinitive is wrong: Après avoir fait = After doing in French (auxiliary avoir)

I think I may be missing something and would appreciate some help. Is manger being used as a noun here maybe?

For swimming with fish, should it be "nager avec les poissons", or "nager avec du poissons"? I cheated during the test (oops) and "avec du poission" was the answer google provided me. The system approves it but in the final article it says "avec les poissons".... what is the difference? 

Also, can it be "J'ai des cheveux longs et ondulés" instead of "les"? 

For wild boars, can we use 'le marcassin'?
