French language Q&A Forum

There are two phrases - 'les chiens qui se sont frottés contre' and 'dont le style ne va plus du tout avec' where the final pronoun (for 'it') seem to have been dropped. Is there any general guidance about when and why this happens ? If you could include the pronouns in these clauses, what would they be ?

The trouble with these exercises, even though you can learn new ways of saying things, don't really recognise that as long as people understand you then you can be a bit more relaxed. In a few examples you used words that I don't have at hand but I had words with similar meanings. I guess that's why these programs don't suit everyone. 

The English recording says "the path" or sounds like it anyway, should be "a path".

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

Hello!
I saw that the correct answer was "la liste au Père Noël de ma fille"; does "lire la liste de ma fille au Père Noël" sounds/is wrong to french ears? Is there some rule or lesson about this?

Thanks in advance,
