French language Q&A Forum

Bonsoir,

I think there is a mistake in the translation of "tu sens ça? I translated it as Do you smell that?, Do you feel that? but had it only partially correct. Your answer also noted Do you taste that? To taste is normally translated as goûter - so why are you using sentir instead? It does not sound right. Please explain. Thanks !

In the sentence 'Depuis la Révolution Française à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, l'architecture de Paris était restée essentiellement inchangée' why is the pluperfect 'était restée' used rather than the imperfect 'restait' ?

Example above we have used "Ils ont été" to mean "they were", however I learned elsewhere that to say one was, in the past, we always use imparfait, which in this case would have been "ils étaient". Please help me understand.

Hi, what is the point of inverting verbs? Does it change the mood of the question? All I got from this lesson was "it sounds better".

When n’avoir plus de is followed by countable object. Is the object always in plural form?

Bonjour 

Can we use il est né le dimanche 

Il est né un dimanche 

Which one is correct? And why?

I used “en retard pour le travail”. I knew it was wrong but did not think of an alternative. Is there a Lawless lesson that can help me with this construction?

Thank you!

Thank you!
