French language Q&A Forum

Loved this set of weekend workouts!

1.    Is there any significant difference between using emmenager & demenager?  In my classes, we've usually used demenager for "moving"

2. Why is it 'quelques annees' instead of 'quelques ans'?    at Il y a + [durée] = [duration] + ago (French Expressions of Time) , the example is given as Il est venu à Londres il y a cinq ans

Ceci représente  un usage exclusif et spécifique. Celui  des "Hommes" (par rapport aux Femmes). Elle n'a guère de sens général  . Je comprends bien que le pronom: "On" ne s'accorde pas s'il y a  un sens général ( Ex: Dans cette societe,  on est né  libre). Cependant, je ne suis pas convaincu que la phrase" En tant qu''Hommes" soit "un sens général"? Expliquez svp

merci d'avance

Hi,

Can someone please explain what this means? Although I have known French for decades, it really didn't seem to make any sense. To be honest, I am very surprised this is level A1, as even I struggled with it and I got really confused when trying to complete the dictation, especially with this sentence.

Thanks

Hello,

Can you help me understand the use of "en" and "y" as replacement pronouns in the sentence "J'en profiterai pour y aller avec lui"? I understand the general rules as explained in the lessons, but in this case I don't understand why they are both being applied. Wouldn't you just use "y" here to replace "la banque" ? Why are both "en" and "y" used? 

Thank you.

Utter nonsense.  Both those statements (ie, "speak Spanish fuently: or "speak fluent Spanish" are 100% interchangeable. If anyone tells you different, they're not native English speakers (or they're very poorly educated). 

I'm getting the impression that the people who are setting these tests are not fluent English speakers. 

I have no idea what this story is about.  Very frustrating.  Also, the audio was way too fast and running together.

Is the gender agreement with the first noun?
