French language Q&A Forum

For the last sentence "je les ai vus descendre de leur voiture", I wanted to say "je les ai vus en descendant". Would my version basically mean "I saw them while I was getting out of the car"? Or can you use en descendant to refer to the aunt and uncle in this case? Thanks in advance. 

I am looking at the sentence 'Daffy et moi ne pouvons plus nous battre en paix sans être interrompu par mon humain' and wondering why 'interrompu' does not agree with 'Daffy et moi'...

In a quiz just taken, in making an adverb from "courant",  courammant was marked wrong and couramment was correct.  Is courant just different?

"Je pense que les gens qui considerent ce jeu puerile..."  The speaker, the "gens" and the game are all masculine, so why is puerile in the feminine form?  Should it not be pueril?

as jewellery is plural why is a used rather than aux?

I think I may need a bigger dictionary! I am struggling to find the appropriate word.  For example:

Le sol versus le plancher

imparable versus imbattable versus incomparable versus inégalable

évident versus manifeste. 

Also the suggested answer "je vais faire une machine" seems to translate as "I'm going to make a machine"

Help !!

Il me semble un peu injuste de ne pas offrir les chiffres écrits en mots comme option.

A beautiful and fun exercise! Merci beaucoup. Loved it

Bonjour,

In one of the questions, ""Il a huit amis, dont cinq sont anglais", I see "sont" being used. But in all the examples in this lesson, no verbs are used in the "dont" clause. 

Can I then also say, ""Il a huit amis, dont cinq anglais" ? Could someone clairfy?

Merci.
