French language Q&A Forum

j'ai souvent entendu le mot voisinage comme alternatif à quartier - est-ce c'est vrai?

Hi, I used " pour autant que je m'en souvienne" and it marked my answer as wrong. Can someone please explain that. thanks

These exercises are so helpful. Could please explain the usage of "en" in the phrase "Si j'en avais les moyens?" Why is not simply "Si j'avais les moyens?" 

I just wondered if we have to use C'était un bâtarde rather then il était because Pip was not a human being

Entres - y

Is the negative n'y entre pas or n'y entres pas .... Does the s drop or not ?

I wrote, "leurs carrieres" since the speaker is describing several actresses and their careers, but this was marked wrong. 

I redid the lesson, (link below), which covers this subject, and there are several examples including: "leurs parents" and "leurs chaussures". It seems that this issue has come up in the discussions before, but I am still not clear as to when to use the plural form and when to use the singular form when referring to more than one person and their possessions. Using the singular form makes it sound, (to me anyway), as if these actresses have all shared the same career. 

Notre/nos/votre/vos/leur/leurs = our/your/their (French Possessive Adjectives)

I appreciate any help on this matter. Otherwise, it was fun to learn all about Aissa Maiga. I will certainly google her!

Bonne Continuation !
