French language Q&A Forum

.

I have Dell XPS 12, with Windows 10 21H2.

Each time I try to generate an accented character in KwizIQ, I end up with 14 characters. So, as soon as the accented character is presented, I watch 13 other identical but non-accented characters marching across the screen.

I tried several mice. Each mouse produces the same pattern.

My touchpad is always off.

Please advise.

Thanks

I am a little unclear as to what the definition of Indirect Speech is especially as it applies to the examples given in the lesson and in the use of verbs such as, 'se demander' and 'savoir'. 

How is this Indirect Speech:

Je me demande si tu viens ou pas. ? 

What I do understand is that in cases where 'whether = if', then 'si + Mode Indicatif' is applied.

The way I usually work it out in my mind is if the sentence is expressing the idea of 'regardless of which' or 'whether or not' than 'Que + Le Subjunctif' is used.

In "it is going to cook the yolk" the verb has an object so it used transitively. Shouldn't the French be "faire cuire" rather than just "cuire"?

Les autres modes de transport utilisent "dans". Un wagon du métro et un wagon du train sont similaires. Cependant, le métro utilise "dans" et le train utilise "sur". Pourquoi?
