French language Q&A Forum

One of the things I love about Progress with Lawless French is that in the Written and Dictation exercies, alternate answers are given so you can learn all the different ways to express a given passage. What I don't like, however, is that when a result comes up "Your answer matched mine", no alternate answers are given. I really miss that extra chance to expand my French that is provided in the alternate answers.

This link says that an Indirect Object Pronoun can also be introduced by the preposition pour (for).  But I can find only examples with preposition ' à  (to)' ...Can you please share a few examples of Indirect Object Pronouns with preposition pour; can't find them in this lesson and other Indirect Object related lessons.

What would be the difference between “I smell nothing” and I feel nothing”. I thought to feel in this case might require a reflexive construction?

All of this is in the present (with the exception of one other passe compose (a dish that i've tasted) & one subjunctive).   Why is the sentence "I really feel like I am travelling to the Roaring Twenties" translated using passe compose?

My first thought was that the narrator in this sentence moved into a memory, hence the past--that is, she once HAD that impression when in Paris.  But, the same could be said for other sentences: "What I like above all, (it) is the relaxed atmosphere . . "   It seems all of these sentences relate an ongoing feeling or attitude toward La brasserie La Coupole, so I don't understand why the passe compose is used in this sentence.

I've read all the comments here and in the related links, several times.

It seems the rule be stated as, there's NO gender/number agreement of the participle when there is a direct object following the verb.

Ça vous dit ?

Just a question concerning the reference to Finir as the Regular 2nd group of -ir verbs; and Partir as Irregular 3rd group of -ir verbs.

Is there an explanation somewhere of the groups of verbs that are being referred to here? What is the Regular 1st group -ir verbs, etc.?

Can someone at least point me to a detailed explanation of when to use Tu. I am 74 and I have assumed nobody will tutoyer me automatically. I would prefer not to tutoyer someone else merely for some hierarchical reason, so I am focusing on the vous form (as does Pimsleur, which I am also using). But, if I go to a French Meet Up in America, will everyone be using Tu? And what about visiting Guadeloupe?

Can anyone let me know what is the correct meaning of comment vous vous appelez? 

Is it you call yourself... or your name is... ? 

And, why do we use comment vous vous appelez? instead of Quel est votre nom?. and what's the difference between these two?

salut tout le monde !

j'ai une question à propos de Pronom Y,

+Vous avez déjà dormi sous la tente ?

-oui, j'y ai déjà dormi. 

est ce que c'est correct ? Je sais bien qu'on a besoin de( à+lieu ) pour pouvoir utiliser Y, et dans ce cas je n'ai aucune idée.

(peut être on peut répondre en utilisant cod:je l'ai déjà dormi.(?) )

merci d'avance pour vos réponses.
