French language Q&A Forum

Hi, could you please explain the difference in using y/là/là-bas

For example, 

I'm going to the beach tonight

Je vais y aller ce soir 

Je vais aller là ce soir 

Je vais aller là-bas ce soir 

Is there a difference in these phrases?

Correct answer is Tout

Just clarification, Tout here means everything, that's why it is tout not tous? Can tout (as a pronuon) be used as a stand alone subject ?

I don’t think the English translation is quite right for this sentence - to draw the maps of these two rooms. In architecture we would say “to produce the plans of these to rooms”.

A map is something you use when you’re out hiking.

Le Musée de l’Orangerie is a magical place to visit.

"you will use the possessive adjectives son, sa or ses (its/one's here)."  

" possessive pronouns agree in gender and number with the *owned* item (son billet / sa carte / ses parents)."

Not a major issue but referred to by different names in short succession... maybe the term adjective pronouns ?? .. or a sentence to show that they are indeed called by either name.

Also are  'ses' 'leurs' completely interchangeable?

________ arrogance est insultante.Your arrogance is insulting.HINT: Use the 'tu' form
Arrogance est une mot féminin, alors, le correct est >, pas?

In a couple of academic articles I'm reading which are written in French, equations are numbered things like: "(2.1)" for "equation 1 from section 2", "(5.15)" for "equation 15 from section 5", etc. How would one pronounce these numbers? For instance in English, I would pronounce "(2.1)" as "two point one" and "(5.15)" as "five point 15".

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

I have been attempting tests at Kwiziq and have faced a few problems which I would like to ask here-

1. C’est le mois d’avril et il a commencé ______ faire très chaud. 

Here, would the answer be “à/de” ? How to judge when to use “commencer à / “commencer de” ?

2. Regarde cet arbre sans fruits. Mais _________ qui est devant nous en a beaucoup.

Here, which of the following is grammatically accurate -  celui-ci /celui ? I opted for “celui-ci” but the answer was “celui”. Why, Madame ?

3.J’ai vu quelque chose dans ton sac.

To form the negative of the sentence which is correct -

Je n’ai vu rien/rien vu dans ton sac. 

This is not highlighted in the lesson- Ne ... rien = Nothing (French Negations)

4. Ces hommes parlent sans cesse.

To form a question would we write-

Qui parle/ Qui parlent  sans cesse ?

Merci encore Madame Cécile pour votre aide continuel.

Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!

Does one say "Je n'aime pas de...." or "Je n'aime pas le/la/les/ce, etc?
