Hi,
how do we know when a nationality used in a sentence is an adjective or a noun?
thank you

Bonjour,

Was wondering about the word frais since it means fresh. I thought that fresh fruit would be similar to saying l'enfant est frais. Or would I be wrong in my following examples. 

Le fruit est frais

The fruit is fresh

L'enfant est frais

Can I also say

Le frais Enfant

The fresh kid

Thanks

Nicole

Bonjour,

I am looking over this lesson and was making compound words and I made a sentence and was hoping  you can tell me if it is correct?

Doghouse

Une maison à chien

Thanks

Nicole

une glace au chocolat OK.....

But in another lesson there was....

Des oeufs EN chocolat...????

Pour quoi??????????????????

I prefer to listen to speakers with expression. It helps to understand the meaning (although I realize this wasn't a dictée)

Apparaître follows the same pattern as connaître for the passé composé, (aître -> u), so not an exception. See -  https://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-rules-model-french/model-conna%C3%AEtre.html

EXCEPTIONS : 

Can we say je voyagerai autour l’Europe in place of Je ferai le tour de l’Europe?

Bonjour, can you let me know if I understand 'new' correctly or just simplifying it too much, my notes are:

Neuf - used after noun but only if the item you are speaking of is brand new (but not on living things)
Neuve - used after noun but only if the item is new to you but not necessarily brand new
Nouveau - is the masculine form and used before consonants
Nouvel - is the masculine form and used before vowels
Nouvelle - is the feminine form and used before nouns OR  vowels

Does that sound right?

Merci

I am just wondering why it is not "mais je la aimerais réchauffée..." as she is talking about 'une tarte tatin'.

Cheers.
