French language Q&A Forum

Hello Kwiziq,

I was just doing an exercise on another site, where they used a complex sentence to say this: 

"Ces jolies robes, je vous les ai fait raccommoder."

It made me think if it's a correct construction or not, because in these cases I always see "le/la/les" before the infinitive. Maybe I missing something? 

Would the sentence "Ces jolies robes, je vous ai fait les raccommoder" imply the same meaning, is one more correct than the other, or perhaps they both work (without any ambiguity)? 

Also, thank you all in advance. Thanks to your exercises and easy-to-understand explanations, I could finally break my plateau and become more confident when I'm talking to someone.

Greetings! Just a comment on the content of the article: Those who are ethically opposed to eating foie gras, if they are consistent in the application of those ethics, will probably also be ethically opposed to killing and eating saumon!  ;-)

The phrases on the two sides of the "=" in the title are not parallel, so this makes it confusing from the get-go as to which is the pronoun and which are indefinite adjectives.  I suggest changing it to "Chaque, chacun, chacune = each, each one.." and so forth.  

In this exercise, there is the line "Le dimanche, comme il faisait beau..." which I assume is intended to mean "On Sunday (specific day), as the weather was nice..." but does not correspond to the teaching of the below lesson which states that "Le dimanche" means "On Sundays" (plural) and that "Le" needs to be omitted if you want to talk about a specific day.

Can you please clarify the discrepancy. Merci d'avance :)

Lesson link here: Using "le" with days of the week + the weekend (French Definite Articles)

You will NOT use le when talking about weekdays in a specific context (on Monday):

On Wednesday, you will go to school.

Mardi, je vais au théâtre.

On Tuesday, I'm going to the theatre.

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? 

Is un repas an acceptable alternative to un dîner ?

Also chez nous instead of à la maison.

Just fyi, the translation of “N’oublie pas de remuer” reads “N’oublie pas de remuer” instead of “Don’t forget to stir”.

Can anybody help me convert a French verb into a French noun? Is there any particular rule or grammatical tips or tricks that I can change a french verb into a french noun? Please help me.
