French language Q&A Forum

Pour moi, question 8, on the 8th February 2023, Nous ne voyons personne» means : ....I put 'we never see anyone' which you have said is incorrect. In english We don't (do not) see anyone, can also mean 'we are particular who we see'.  Is this the same in french for Nous ne voyons personne, if so why is it not clarified? 

I found these lessons on Youtube and hope they will be helpful in the interim   Here are the links(unsure they will work):   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-n8uQAYY8k

I'm a little confused at the distinction between "beacoup de" and "de nombreux". I used "beacoup de" in an answer and got it wrong, but I believe it was grammatically correct. The answers in the Q&A help a little, but I think it would also help to have this mentioned in the lesson text.

Why "dans"?  Isn't stadium a general place rather than a specific one?  Like "in prison" = "en la prision"?

A post further down says "soit..soit is used when followed by anything other than a verb". I’ve just done a quiz elsewhere where the answer they wanted was "Soit tu mets du déodorant, soit je te quitte"! Is this a usage that exists but isn’t good French? If so, what’s a better way to express it? I can’t imagine "soit que" is very common and "que" + subjunctive verb seems to be a yes/no situation (eg que tu le mettes ou pas) rather than offering two alternative verbs.

Thank you.

When I take the quizzes, the answers I choose aren't the ones showing when I get the review.  It seems the quiz is changing my answers.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

I understand from the disucssion that you can use depuis with the present tense or passé composé but I have this question:

Depuis quand est-ce que vous êtes vous mariés ? ( a point in time in the past)

Asking a person who is married how long they've been married (and still are): Vous êtes vous mariés depuis 30 ans? (Past tense so does this mean they're no longer married?)  or, should you say, Vous êtes mariés depuis 40 ans? (still married).

This always trips me up so thank you ahead of time for your help!

Quel est le genre grammatical de 'Paris', et pourquoi pas 'à la campagne' au lieu de 'dehors de la capitale' ?
