French language Q&A Forum

I was a little confused, as it suggested using the simple past tense, but also uses the past historic...something I need to make sure I understand in terms of the context!

Bescherelle punctuates haïr in the passé simple as: je haïs, tu haïs, il haït, etc., whereas you insist on: j'hais, tu hais, il hais, etc.  Can they both be correct? 

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

is it fine?

Merci

Hi,

In this lesson, we use Elle est à New York to say She is in New York

But in another lesson, we use J'habite dans le New Jersey to say I live in New Jersey

Now I am a bit confused about the use of dans le and à with cities. Help!

Why could you not use étreinte or embrasser for hugging please? Enlacement only returns as one option in dictionaries and DeepL and Google translate so why is it preferred here? Thanks.

Here it says that En can’t be used for people but I have heard it in the following context: Tu as des enfants, oui j’en ai trois. In this case en is referring to people? 

My performance on this was dismal (lugubre). I don’t think it was me. It is too difficult for A1, à mon avi.

In “Salut Mathilde, ça te dirait de passer au magasin de fripes au kilo ? Salut Paul ! Oui carrément, ils ont plein de nouveautés en plus, il faut qu'on y aille avant qu'ils soient dévalisés.”

Should it be “dévalisées” because “they” are the “nouveautés” which are female & plural?

Is it because fatiquer is transitive ‘only’ and ‘must’ have an object, otherwise fatiguée here is an adjective?      Might be back to A level for me!

The English text says "I crossed the Garonne river...", but the French text uses "nous" throughout. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/VIvVD4V
