French language Q&A Forum

Qu'est-ce que c'est [chose]?, Qu'est-ce que c'est que + [something] , Qu'est-ce que + [chose] all mean the same thing and they have the same level of formality, right? Am I understanding this correctly?

I notice all the examples in this section refer to "ne pas". Can other negatives like rien and jamais be used?

Not a question, but sounds like a great day I'd like to do merci beaucoup :)

Merci pour les nouveaux exercices d’écoute !

I read in a French magazine:

La nécropole de Chellah, l'un des plus anciens sites du pays.

I would translate this as 'One of the most ancient sites of the country. 

But 'ancien' before the noun means 'former', which would not make sense. Has the addition of 'plus' caused a change in the structure ? So confusing !

Rather than just accessing LF on my computer, is a mobile application available? I didn't find it in the Apple store.

Merci.

It says “you always use the masculine with c'est. ” 

But in the very beginning example “c’est une jolie robe” 

Here the adjective is feminine- how? Also, it says when its followed with une/un then we us “ c’est” - how une can be following c’est when the adjective is feminine?

For the phrase

I'd been following his career since the release of C.R.A.Z.Y. in 2005.

The answer was 

Je suivais sa carrière depuis la sortie de C.R.A.Z.Y. en 2005. 

But could it also be

J'avais été suivi sa carrière depuis la sortie de C.R.A.Z.Y. en 2005

could you say 'c'est l'heure de mon rendez-vous'

During the first sentence below, I find it super hard to pick up the 'eu' after déjà - is it actually there?!

- As-tu déjà eu l'occasion de séjourner à l'Hôtel du Palais à Biarritz ?

In the third line of the dialog, if using inversion "Savez-vous à quelle heure nous atterrissons?", the audio in the exercise has several extra words that do not match the text. I can't remember exactly what they were but at the beginning it says "Pascal", like there were cues for the dialog that were being read as the dialog.
