French language Q&A Forum

With regards to both conjugations, is one more common than the other when speaking and the same when writing. I think a French friend of mine said once that one is more common over the other when writing.

Also, should I learn both ways or just the one that I find easier?

Thank you

One option given here for "my flowery dress" is "ma robe a fleuris."  Why not "ma robe fleuries"?

1-can we replaces "y"  with  verbs which have infinitive verbs
 2-can we replaces "en" with verbs which have infinitive vers
for example
1-J'ai besoin de dormir----- j'ai en besoin
2-je chosis de faire mes devoirs

'Je vois encore son sourire quand je l'avais surprise.'

Would it also be correct to use the perfect tense: 'Je vois encore son sourire quand je l'ai surprise.'?

Is the audio for “parce que je n'ai pas envie de manquer le début du concert” correct? My “French ears” are admittedly not the best, but I’m not getting “envie de manquer” at all, more something like “vide … quel”…

In the sentence "qui vient d'accueillir son premier animal familier" - Why are we using "son"? I've read the lesson still don't understand. Is it because of it being used generally? 

And in that same sentence, why is it that "De" is used to express "TO learn"? why not "à"? 

Also in the sentence "ce soit bon pour un animal de rester enfermé" is the "De" required because of "être"?

And lastly -  "la plus grande preuve d'amour que vous puissiez lui donner" why did this sentence get knocked into the subjunctive? 

Apologies for all these questions but this exercise really got me confused!

Hello, how do you know which translation to English to use? Thank you
