French language Q&A Forum

 I have no idea what this phrase is supposed to illustrate, let alone identify what part of it is supposed to be the adjective.  Are you trying to say une fille blonde comme le soleil?  If so, I think this particular exercise is not clear.  It seems like a tossed word salad.  

In English, one would generally not say "a blonde as the sun girl" one would say a girl as blonde as the sun.  Though to be frank, I would not say that, either.

In your lesson, you describe …aine as being ‘about’ or ‘or so’ and yet in the example you translate deux douzaine… as being ‘two dozen’. In UK English , a dozen is NORMALLY, exactly 12, but I acknowledge it CAN also have ‘or so’ connotations.  Perhaps not the best example?  Love the site for learning French by the way. Much better than well-known alternatives)

Isn't the causative always to or for the subject of the verb?

"C'est une petite lampe de bureau en forme de phare breton. "

"C'est très joli ! " 

I am reading

"C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French

Based on that,  I am thinking this:  we have a specific item here, not a general subject like "La science", 

so  we can't use 2a - c'est  for general, unspecific statements and opinions

so why isn't it using : 2b "il est/elle est  for statements and opinions related to specific things"

= Elle est très jolie.

Thanks Paul.

Hi, in 

“Autre ancienne élève de l'émission de télé-crochet de M6 ayant rencontré le succès”,

why is “ayant rencontré” used? Could “avoir rencontré” have been used instead? Would the meaning then be different?

In this question, isn't there  more than one candle? I chose faiblissons instead of faiblit. 

I don’t understand how to know whether this refers to a person (WHOM do you miss) or to a thing (WHAT are you missing).

Can you tell me how to decide between usage of 'de' and 'des'

for example

regarder des vidéos de chatons et de bébés

j'ai écrit

vidéos des chatons et des bébés!

2)Also how to say

(Its quite congfusing)

Is it

 C'est déroutant!

Ca me confond un peu!

Merci beaucoup
