French language Q&A Forum

2 questions about this sentence:

1. Is "yeux étincelants" not acceptable here?

2. Why is the passé composé used instead of the imparfait "les yeux...auxquels je ne pouvais jamais résister"?

Hello  I am A0 level would you please advise me where is A0 lessons ? I don’t know from where I must starting my lessons?

The speech for "parmi lesquelles un quiz de l'année qui vient de s'écouler, " is extremely unclear, and I was unable to figure it out. I played it to someone who is a native French speaker, and she couldn't figure it out either. It's the "quiz de l'année" part that is really bad.

Should the line in the lesson stating:  

pires / mauvais / mauvaises  ->  les pires / les plus mauvais / les plus mauvaises

Instead be stated as:  

mauvais / mauvaises  ->  pires / plus mauvais / plus mauvaises -> les pires / les plus mauvais / les plus mauvaises

I have read the lesson and the forum. At this level, is it really necessary to learn several (confusing) ways of asking these questions? Could we learn to use one, the commonest one, and then come back to another lesson later for all the variations. I cannot get past this test (but I can get what I want in a boulangerie!)  :)

Some advice please on when to use vouloir in the present versus the conditional for "I want".  In English, insofar as I know, we don't distinguish between "I want" and "I would like".  On second though, perhaps "I want" expresses a slightly stronger desire.

Hello, in the first example mentioned

"I saw magnificent places"

The answer in french is "J'ai vu des endroits magnifiques."

Why is it "des" here instead of d'endroits ??

1)I used 'formidable' instead of 'genial'. Is it right?

2)Usually bac is used for bins. Here its used for 'tray'.I thought it was 'plateau' for tray.

Merci

Bonjour :)

In this statement: If there is a pronoun before the infinitive, ne pas precedes it.

Which pronoun are we talking about here? Direct or Indirect? The examples above exhibit both, so I'm a bit confused.

Merci :)
