French language Q&A Forum

Why is it ' on se serait crus' and not ' on se serait cru'. I thought 'on ' was singular.

May I suggest that it would be useful to include this link with the list of related grammar and vocab. It explains how Quebec is treated as a country rather than a province, ie. "au Quebec" rather than "dans le Quebec."

There should be a way to speed up or slow down the audio

One of the hardest ones yet! It showed me that I am clearly not ready for a French aerobics class yet, so at least there's that, haha! 

Avant d’obtenir une réponse: is ‘avant de recevoir une réponse also OK?

"Cette maison est bien."

Am I correct in thinking that, in this case, "bien" is describing the house and is therefore an adjective?

If this is true, then "bien" can be an adjective as well as an adverb.

Please could you tell how to know when to  use "bien" or "bon" as an adjective.

In other words, why did the question not read "Cette maison est bonne" ?

I do not understand why in the above sentence écrit (pp of écrire?) has an 'extra' e. I understand this only applies to être verbs + avoir if object preceeds verb?

Hi, in 

“Depuis mon plus jeune âge, qu'on soit à la maison ou chez des amis”

what triggered the subjunctive (i.e. “soit”). Was it the “depuis … que” structure?

For this example:

Je ne comprends pas le temps que ça lui prend de se préparer !I don't understand the time she takes to get ready!
Isn't the subjunctive of prendre supposed to be prenne?

I used 'le livre titule....' instead of 's'appelle'

is it fine?

Merci
