French language Q&A Forum

Bonjour--

De temps en temps, je vois une construction selon l'exemple :

"Et Christophe (ou Pierre, Marie, etc.) de dire (ou autre verbe)..." 

Pourriez-vous me confirmer 1) si cette construction est courante, et 2) si elle reflete un francais litteraire, ou bien a la rigueur si elle fait partie du francais couramment parle?

Un grand merci, 

Fred

Can someone explain why the first verb in the extract is in the perfect, while the second (and subsequent) are in the imperfect? They all seem to be describing the continuing circumstances, which calls for the imperfect as I read this: Expressing opinions and describing with the imperfect tense in French (L'Imparfait)

hello. is there any registration fees 

Hi,

Internet was slow, it took ages for posts to register. At least one of my entries did not register at all. I made only one mistake, 'auparavant" which l spelled with an e (auparavent). Some punctuation challenges. So, l had rated myself  59 out of 60, not 49 out of 60. How do l fix this?

I found I had more difficulty with the punctuation that the words! A lot of English writing increasingly drops commas these days, and it might be helpful to know the French rules! For example, I wouldn’t put a comma before "in Spain" in the first sentence.

Hello! How can I correctly invite someone to walk to the park with me? Thank you!

The last sentence is Elle n'en croira pas ses yeux!  Why is "en" used in this context?
