French language Q&A Forum

Hello, today while watching the news I picked up the sentence:

on a isolé les murs au cas où nous devions rester longtemps.

I wonder why "devrait" is not used in this case.

And can we use e.g. /dans le cas où + sentence/ instead of /au cas où + sentence/ ?

Merci.

What does the d' represent in d'habitude? Does it imply pronoun possession? 

Hi,

Can someone please explain what this means? Although I have known French for decades, it really didn't seem to make any sense. To be honest, I am very surprised this is level A1, as even I struggled with it and I got really confused when trying to complete the dictation, especially with this sentence.

Thanks

Your translation of 'Le monde aurait bien besoin de quelq'un...' sounds to me more like 'The world really needs someone..' rather than the stated 'The world could really use someone. What do you think of 'Le monde pourrait bien utiliser quelq'un...'

In one of the questions - Tu vaux la peine.

As far as I understand, there should be an 'en' between 'Tu' and 'vaux'.

Am I right?

If the answer was "roman policier" shouldn't the question have been "police novel" rather than "detective story" ?

many of my answers were right but you gave me wrong for eg i typed en haut de la tout eiffel you said en somme de la tour eiffel but here again en haut its correct you need to fix this

for: This lady has an unquestionable elegance.

I used "elegance incontestable" and it didn't accept it

Salut,

Pourquoi on utilise "se faire" au lieu de qqchose d'autre dans la phrase suivante: 

Il faut qu'on se fasse une soirée films ...

Merci!
