French language Q&A Forum

Is it possible to just use the keyboard when navigating the site (especially when doing exercises, quizzes, etc...)? Of course, a mouse can always be used, but when you're trying to concentrate on the subject matter having to remove your hands from the keyboard and back all the time is just one extra thing to think about. It's pretty standard to use the tab key to move from item to item and the return key to execute (click) an item. But I notice that this only partially works on the site. For example, I can use tab  to select an audio, but then I don't see how to play it (without the mouse).  Maybe there's a secret shortcut, but I searched for keyboard and shortcut in the FAQ and Forum and couldn't find it. In any event, thanks for the great site -- trying to help you make it even better.

“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

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

I came across "Mes amis sont très..." with the prompt, "My friends are very loyal.", during a practice exercise mixed with other assorted grammar concepts. Not realizing at the time that it was an exercise to practice different -al endings, my first instinct was to put "fidèles" rather than "loyaux". Could "fidèles" be an alternative answer? 

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? 

Dear sir/madam

Where I can go letters practice in kwiziq is there are not please help this letters if you know that. 

se dépêcher = to hurry up.Tell your friends "Hurry up!": : ___ !

Because the above references "friends" I used the tu form but was marked incorrect with the vous form the correct answer. Why is that? I've been marked correctly on other examples. Am I missing something?

Is it because manquer implies nagativity?
