French language Q&A Forum

Bonjour,

I am looking over this lesson and was making compound words and I made a sentence and was hoping  you can tell me if it is correct?

Doghouse

Une maison à chien

Thanks

Nicole

I translated this as, Voulez-vous en goûter.  Apparently, the 'en' is not necessary as it was crossed out in the correction.  In English, the word, some, is implied after try or taste, suggesting an indefinite amount.  If she had said, "Would you like to try one?", I believe the translation would be "Voulez-vous en goûter un".  Can you comment?

“Un bon moyen de mettre la finance au service d'un projet de société alternatif.”

 —-

Is the adjective “alternatif” in the masculine form because it’s linked with the masculine noun “projet”? Is there a chance that it should be linked with the female noun “société” and therefore be “alternative”, or is it obvious to French speakers that this would not be the case?

 Thanks, Brian

James asked this question a year ago but no answer. I also used rafales for gusts having never encountered bourrasques before.

I loved this exercise.  No idea how long you've been offering it, but I'll be looking for more of them going forward.

Thank you!
