French language Q&A Forum

J'ai toujours trouver les problèmes de quand utiliser le passé composé ou l'imparfait.

I'm still having challenges in when to use the passé composé instead of the imparfait and vice versa.

Hi guys, 

I have some questions. Hope you all can help me to understand.

While it is clear that stress pronoun is always after another noun, how do we decide the order if there are 2 stress pronouns together?

Is it

“toi et moi” or “moi et toi”

“toi et elle” or “elle et toi”

“moi et elle” or “elle et moi”

Is it the same as English when first-person related pronouns always come last (You and I, him and me) and second-person related pronouns always come first (you and him, You and I)?

Thank you in advance. 

HI

Thanks

The corrections recommend that these adjectives appear before the word "beffroi."  Same situation with "épaisse muraille."  Why?

I don't agree with the following tip. I agree with Harton.  I am English and was a teacher of English.  What you suggest is very formal and rarely used in nowadays in spoken English.  I believe that just as it is important to learn French as it is actually spoken, it is also important to learn English as it is actually spoken.

Whereas in English, you will need to use a subject pronoun after than (... than I (do), you (do), he/she (does)...), in French you will once again use the stress pronoun after que (... que moi, toi, lui/elle, nous, vous, eux/elles). You will also never repeat the verb (do/am/have) afterwards:

I’ve looked at the forum responses and still don’t understand why ‘je suis dix minutes en retard’ was marked as incorrect. More clarification please.

In the exercise, I completed the sentence "How come you speak French? with "Comment ça se fait que tu parles français?" The answer was marked incorrect - your corrected answer being "Comment se fait que tu parles français?" I didn't see "Comment se fait que" as a choice in the notebook explanation of How come? - although "Comment se fait-il que" was also an option when How come? is followed by a conjugated verb. Please explain. Merci!
