French language Q&A Forum

This may have been touched on already: 

Je ne comprends pas le temps que ça lui prend de se préparer !

…is cited as an example of when it’s not appropriate to use the subjunctive.. Fair enough, but why is it also included amongst those examples that do use the subjunctive? Is that an error or am I missing something?

I’ll just echo the suggestion to add the context (e.g. as described by Chris) to this lesson. Prior to reading the context I was thinking “we don’t even use this tense in English”. After reading it I realised that of course we do use it, and I could understand where it could be meaningfully used. 

"marcher a l'ecole" translates to "walks/is walking to school" so why was this marked wrong?

As 'secondary (or high) school' covers student ages from 12-13 to 18-19, it is not a simple choice between 'lycée' and 'collége' in my part of the world. It may be better to give an age range clue for the students if looking for a specific French level of schooling to be given, as there is no uniform standard in English.

se dépêcher = to hurry up.Tell your friends "Hurry up!": : ___ !

Because the above references "friends" I used the tu form but was marked incorrect with the vous form the correct answer. Why is that? I've been marked correctly on other examples. Am I missing something?

How do you conjugate être and suis in the present form

i was taught aimer to love a person /like a thing

adorer to love a thing

is this no longer considered correct?

Is it the same as in sports where if you do it in general its faire but if you're doing it in the moment it's jouer?
