French language Q&A Forum

HI,

In this workbook I'm practicing in that I brought. I had to translate using inversion and vous if necessary. So the sentence was

When is she arriving in Nantes? I put Quand arrive -t-elle à Nantes but then their answer said I should've used à quelle heure.  

Why should I use à quelle heure instead of quand when the question is asking when?

Thanks

Does your car work?

Ta voiture est-elle fonctionne? 

Will it be correct?

Please help!

Why was qui est-ce qui not correct? Qui was the correct answer. I thought the two were interchangeable and both correct?

Thanks

In the sentence in the south of France the answer is le sud but in a previous exercise (Bastille Day) it was du sud.  Are both acceptable ?  Also in the best answer it is C'étaient but in the final paragraph it is C'était.  Are both correct or is this an error? 

I think i heard more words in this sentence- please clarify.

Tous les samedi or tout les samedis

Which one is correct

I might be wrong, but I hear everywhere that "excité" has a sexual connotation in French, unlike in English. If it's right, I think it would be better to change the adjective here.

Hello again - some more queries. Looking especially for nuances in meaning/usage:
1. Why "bienvenue" and not "bienvenu"?
2.  Instead of "j'aimerais annuler une commande" would it be acceptable to say "je voudrais annuler une commande"?
3.  instead of "j'ai passé ma commande" would it be acceptable to say "j'ai placé ma commande"?
4.  "j'attendrais patiemment votre prochaine livraison."  Is   "j'attendrais patiemment pour votre prochaine livraison" ever correct?

Thanks in advance. Love your work!

Best wishes
Ian

Bonjour !  

When do you use "on" and "l'on" when we talked about "we"?
