French language Q&A Forum

Just did test and got various bits wrong but various bits right. Should have got more points for good effort.

Can après-midi be either masculine or feminine in this expression? I was not marked wrong when I used "bon".

The first time I did this exercise I used "tant de personnes" and it was marked as correct.  The second time I did the same thing but it was marked as an error with "autant de personnes" being the only accepted phrase.  I am struggling with this usage and difference in corrections.  Thanks!

For the example, we are told "Ta viande" cannot be put into an "en," yet "mes problèmes" can. How come the possessive can be an "en" in one case and not the other?

Why is it in passé composé : 

Tu n'as pas eu froid ? 

and not imparfait : 

Tu n'avait pas froid ?

- There are several comments asking about "for having done" vs "for doing".  While they're both included in the lesson title and the lesson itself, maybe spell out a little more clearly that they will be translated the same way in French?  Maybe include Chris W.'s point about the literary nature and lack of frequent use of the former?

- I find this note confusing: "Indeed, you can never use pour + [Infinitif] (i.e pour faire ça), the way you say for doing that in English!" There's no infinitive used in English.  Perhaps delete the end of the sentence?

- You're missing a close paren:  pour + Infinitif passé (= infinitive of auxiliary (être or avoir) + past participle

Thanks for your time and the work you do here - I've found this site to be super helpful.  

Salut tout le monde. Pourquoi on utilise DE et pas DES?

It's a video for some song "Bouger", not "Briller" or "Golden"
