French language Q&A Forum

Quelle est la différence entre très, vraiment, vachement, terriblement?

I write "Elle l'adorait !" , why is it wrong? To replace a statement, we must use "ça" ?

In my A0 entry test, there was a question to see if "un canapé rectangulaire" is correct or not. The answer was not but I wonder why? 

So Mexique, Cambodge, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Belize are masculine although they end in -e; Qubec, Texas and New Mexico are countries but California is not. It's le Merseyside but not le Bordeaux. Turkey is outside Europe (not entirely I think) and a turkey is from India. You really couldn't make up something more ridiculous than this if you tried. 

I felt I was making good progress with this course but now I am bogged down with endless questions about places that don't interest me and loosing the will to live. I accept that fluent french speakers may need this but I can barely conjugate faire yet, surely this content should be moved to C1?

I am going to write myself out a big crib sheet and cheat - hopefully I can convince the quizzbot I know this stuff so I can move on to something more useful.

Don’t you just use le weekend? Do the french say “le fin de semaine”? 

It is the other way round, I think.

I have a question about the following quiz question:

Elle pardonne à Paul et elle _________

The translation was "She forgives Paul and she forgives us"

The correct answer was "nous pardonne"

I am confused why the first part is "pardonne à Paul" but the second part has the pronoun in front of the verb, "nous pardonne". Is there a general rule to follow for this placement?

I wrote vous êtes cachés and it was caché, but there was no indication that the vous was singular. I could have guessed that only one person was hiding, but it wasn’t clear so I went with the rule. Please make situations like this more explicit so we don’t get marked down for it. Thanks so much!
