how to say playground
1. Is 'piquer' a valid verb in French? Can one say 'piquer l’intérêt'?
Why was it necessary to use the 'passe compose' of falloir here?
Referring to: j'ai semé de nouvelles graines que j'ai recouvertes de compost
Someone once shared a list of French verbs (probably from the lawless French) which take the preposition 'de' to denote "to do something with/by another thing", where intuitively one would want to use 'avec'. For example: 'La ville est entourée de collines.' Here, the natural translation is 'The city is surrounded by hills. Along the same line: 'Le jardin est recouvert de neige.' --> The garden is covered with snow!
Can anyone please share that list here also?
Also this is how i am trying to memorize the verb conjugations of regular and irregular verbs
Let me know if its ok or not
For example in cuire
As its irregular nature
It has endings with je cuiS. tu cuiS and il cuiT
Opposite to regular verb parle
With conjugation of je parlE, tu parleS & il parlE.
Please correct me if am wrong.
Je n'ai pas encore trouvé le trésor !
I haven't found the treasure yet!
Je ne pense pas encore à mon avenir.
I don't think of my future yet.
It seems to me that "not yet" expresses something that's ongoing, so should always be in the present like the second example. In the first example I'm still searching for the treasure, so shouldn't it be in the present? Is it the "haven't" that changes the tense?
Thanks in advance.

J'avoue que je suis toujours un peu brouillard au suject des circonstances dans lesquelles une verbe réflexive ne crée pas d'accord avec le participe passé, mais, pour moi, il ne semble pas d'y être un COD de plus.... donc je ne comprends pas pourquoi il n'est pas "Tous les médias s'en sont donnés à cœur joie...."
Bonjour,
So i learn in the lesson regarding past "avoir" that the verb needs to accord with the COD.
So for example, how do i say "I liked my ice cream so i bought another one"?
A. J'ai aimé ma glace, donc j'en ai acheté une autre.
B. J'ai aimé ma glace, donc j'en ai achetée une autre.
I learned the version above years ago. Is the “vous vous” form of the question most common now? Or less formal?
It really sounds to me that the speaker is saying ``Sophie, au va....`` I know it doesn`t make sense but it really sounds like that`s what he`s saying. Can you please check?
