French language Q&A Forum

Sorry to open this one up again !

But why not translate as:

"Cécile va et prend..." ?

Unlike the examples in the explanation materials, THE question /answer is incorrect.  The review materials limit the number of people to one actor and one actress (only two people). In the exam question, their is an unknown number of people (could be 100) therefore the person speaking is unknown.

Are both of them correct and both can be used equally?

- Je me suis arrêtée d’aller à la salle de sport.

- J'ai arrêté d'aller à la salle de sport.

[I stopped going to the gym.]

Just checking: In looking at the sentence, "Écoutez cette conversation entre Marc et son amie Lola." It is son becuase it is his meaning Marc's friend, but amie becuase Lola is feminine correct? So, if I say "Ma meuillere amie est Laura.  I use ma because I am female and meuillere amie because Laura is female. I could also say "Mon meuilleur ami, Charles."

Thank yor this useful reading text.

Is it possible to add the pronunciation of the difficult words like: campagne

Whilst not specific to this lesson - there are lot of references in these lessons to language choices that are "more elegant" than another.  Is this just another way of saying "more formal", or do the French have a specific desire or appreciation for elegant language?  In English we would never describe our language choices as one way being more elegant than another.  I'm just curious!

Hi

I have been taught that à cause de is used negatively. The positive usage is grace à. Whats your opinion?

Again, étonnant is also used negatively or so i have been told. Maybe you wanted use it as such here.

This sentence: Nous n'avons pas encore décidé quoi manger

Will it be wrong to say nous n'avons pas encore décidé ce qui manger?  

Please confirm are these Adverbial Affirmative Imperatives correct? 

- Donne-lui-en! [Give him some!]

- Emmenez-m’y!  [Take me there!]

- Emmenez-nous-y! [Take us there!]

- Amuse-t’y! / Amusez-t'y! [Have fun there!]
