French language Q&A Forum

Hello, I answered a questions that asked what the "Low Countries" were as "Les Pays-bas" which I learned in my French class, were the combination of The Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium. But the correct answer was The Netherlands event though the verb was "ont" and not "a" and the Netherlands is a single country. Could you tell me what the actual Low Countries would be in French?

Can you add an apostrophe and say:

Aurélie is going to eat at her parents'

Bonjour à tous et à toutes,

Is the infinitive still used for commands, and if so when ?

I mostly see the vous form of the indicative for commands. 

The translation given for "Ta voiture est petite. - Oui, mais c'est petit dans mon garage.""Your car is small. - Yes, but my garage is small."

The second sentence seems like it should be the car that is small in the garage. Is the translation correct?

Pourriez-vous expliquer les possibilités pour "thickness" svp?

Est-ce correct de dire:

Le mur fait 30 centimètres d'épaisseur?  

est-ce qu'il y a d'autres possibilités?

Merci d'avance.
