French language Q&A Forum

Loved this set of weekend workouts!

1.    Is there any significant difference between using emmenager & demenager?  In my classes, we've usually used demenager for "moving"

2. Why is it 'quelques annees' instead of 'quelques ans'?    at Il y a + [durée] = [duration] + ago (French Expressions of Time) , the example is given as Il est venu à Londres il y a cinq ans

According to the lesson Vrai before noun means quite a.... where as Vrai after noun means true. So why are we using vraie here before cuisine when we want to say a true kitchen?

Hidden in my bedroom, I'd tied the flowers with a pretty bow. HINT: Gaspard is speaking (man). 

Dissimulé dans ma chambre, j'avais lié (or attaché) les fleurs avec un joli nœud.

Why do we have this hint? What would change if the speaker were female?

Your question: What does "Je voudrais trois douzaines de pommes, s'il vous plaît" mean?

This is confusing me... in English  three dozen, means three dozen or 36 but if I am reading this correctly, in French means around 3 dozen or around 36... I have been penalised for saying about 36 and not choosing the 3 dozen which means precisely 36 and should, therefore, be wrong.. or am I missing something?

Why is "almost identical" translated simply as "identique", rather than "presque indentique"?  

Hello,

So what I'm getting here is use only Est- ce que when you have a yes or no question instead of inverted form?

Thanks
