French language Q&A Forum

Thsee are what I think are correct:

Je veux le café = I want the coffee

Je veux le café = I want coffee

Je veux du café = I want some coffee

Ils veulent des cafés = They want coffees

Ils veulent du café = They want some coffee

ILS veulent le café = They want coffee

Ils veulent de café = They want a coffee.

I think these are all correct grammar, depending on the situation.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

How do you say "from the ..."?  My guess would be "DE LA ...".  However, this can only mean some.  What do I do?

When do I use un, une, des, le, la, l', les, du?

On a quiz, 'Marie avait deux heures d'avance' was not considered correct. But in the lesson on timeliness, 'early -> avoir [5 minutes] d'avance' was given as a rule. I must be looking right past something here.

Why is it "Il achète du pain"? I think bread is countable so it should be "Il achète des pains" 

Isn’t company “entreprise”? Thank you for answering. 

Why is "était fait" used in a compound verb structure when avoir is normally used w/ faire?

Why use être here instead of avoir?

One of the test questions reads “Il les a tous lus”. I don’t understand why it is not “Il les a tous lu”. Thanks

Valentine et moi prenons aussi des cours de rockle vendredi. Elle est une très bonne danseuse, et quant à moi, je fais de mon mieux !

This was marked as wrong, for the "Elle est" part. It says that I should use "C'est une très bonne danseuse" and points me to this lesson. Après moi, y a quelque chose qui cloche là... Is it really wrong to use "Elle est"? If so, why?

I understand that, in general, you'd use "c'est" when it's followed by an indefinite article, but that rule doesn't seem to apply in this case. Correct or not, it just doesn't sound right to me. Moreover, the fact remains whether "elle est" is actually wrong here.

PS: btw, the option "Send email notifications of new answers" here below doesn't seem to be working. I've seen people answer my questions and I never got an email for that.
