French language Q&A Forum

Bonjour - Can someone explain the grammaire for  "je vois l'architecte arriver"?  Why is "arriver" an infinitive?  Merci!

Any reason why la Psychologie has a capital 'P' but la littérature has a lower case 'l'?

Think I've grasped qui v que (the youtube video v helpful) but am struggling with when to drop the e or i before a vowel. Any advice please?

Just done a test when one answer was ce qu'est and this one below:

Word reference translates flavor or flavour as either la saveur or le goût, except for yogurts or ice creams, in which case le parfum is preferred.   So, in the text, since we are talking about desserts in general, why not allow saveur or goût? 

HI 

I was wondering this sentence we are saving to go to France next year. I put I as nous faisionsdes économies pour aller en France L'année prochaine. But their answer they used ils font why are they using they not we?

Thanks

The dictée is missing "mélange dans un moule".

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

“Un bon moyen de mettre la finance au service d'un projet de société alternatif.”

 —-

Is the adjective “alternatif” in the masculine form because it’s linked with the masculine noun “projet”? Is there a chance that it should be linked with the female noun “société” and therefore be “alternative”, or is it obvious to French speakers that this would not be the case?

 Thanks, Brian
