French language Q&A Forum

Hi teachers/fellow learners, for the last sentence "où Le Débarquement a eu lieu en 1944" I was under the impression that for known facts we use present tense in French, but it turns out that passé composé is more suitable. Can you tell me more about this? Thank you so much.

"En 1941, il est parti rejoindre le Général de Gaulle à Londres"

Is this correct? I wrote "En 1941, il est parti joindre le Général de Gaulle à Londres". Did Michel's oncle rejoin de Gaulle?

Has anyone bought Laura's textbook and wants to study together? I'm entering chapter 2 right now, and have a question regarding exercise number 44 from chapter 1 (it's context based, and copyrighted, so I am not posting it here).

If anyone else has the textbook, please reply to this post :) I'm sure we can figure something out 

C'est dommage de ne pas avoir de questions de compréhension pour la lecture et l'écoute... 

Elsewhere, I'm seeing where 'desservir' is conjugated as follows:

je desservis

tu desservis

il/elle/on desservit

nous desservons

vous desservez

ils/elles desservent

Which doesn't match the lesson example. If I were to follow the lesson example 'desservir' would be conjugated as follows:

tu dessers

il/elle/on dessert

nous desservons 

vous desservez

ils/elles desservent  

Which version is correct?

In the question:  "À qui sont ces balles ? ", why is the alternative translation of "These are mine", "Celles-ci sont les miennes" wrong?

On the Lawless French Causative Construction with Objects and Agreement page (https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/faire-causative-2/) there is a cartoon of some kids washing a car with the caption 'Je les fais laver la voiture'. Why is it 'les' and not 'leur'?

What’s the difference in how you use décider à and décider de
