French language Q&A Forum

in this example, two questions:

Ce sont les meilleures vacances qu'elle ait passées!

1. why "ce" instead of "ces", if vacances is plural?

2. why pasées instead of passée, if the noun is singular and avoir doesn't match in number?

  I’m wondering what pesant is grammatically in the sentence "Ces informations valent leur pesant d'or !" - a gerund? Or is pesant d’or a fixed expression?

Over the last few days I have powered through over all the A0 topics in order to get them out of the way and get to study A1 or better lessons,yet for some reason it feels like I am on a loop right now, where all the lessons on my study plan are A0 ones even though all of them are 100%'d already, I even got the award for achieving a 100% completion on a level. Is there any way to get Kwiziq to stop giving me these lessons and get it to give me A1 ones ?

Is it a rule to remove the definite article 'le' in Superlatives while using Possessive Adjectives?

Baptiste est mon pire ennemi.

and not 'le pire' / 'le plus mauvais' ennemi?

Or 'Il est mon meilleur ami.' - even though 'le meilleur' is not used, it is implied with Possessive Adjectives?

I wrote "Oui, on a papoté pendant une heure." instead of "Oui, on a discuté/bavardé pendant une heure." It marked it as incorrect. I think bavardé is closer than discuté for 'chatted', but I feel like 'papoté' suits well for the context. Am I wrong?

Hi, in “les enfants sont bel et bien notre avenir” is “bel et bien” an invariable expression? And is that why we don’t have “les enfants sont beaux et bien” instead?

Is there a mistake in the video at approximately the 1:08 mark? The example says:

Je mange une pomme and Tu *parle* à Marie. Shouldn't it be Tu *parles* à Marie?

Hi,  I use this app a lot (every day) for French grammar. I was doing the excersise and in a little bit confused on when to use a ‘!’ and ‘?’ in the phrase that’s being read to me. How do I know when to use them because if it’s a robot, they don’t talk with a high pitched voice when there's an exclamation mark and have a confused tone when there’s a question mark in the sentence. I’m sorry if this is confusing, I’m not the best writer, but if you hopefully understand what I’m trying to say, please kindly explain the answer to my question. Thank you

Si vous souhaitez envisager d'aller plus loin dans votre exploration de « l'univers artistique francophone » que ces personnalités populaires, peut-être souhaiteriez-vous fournir des informations sur les personnes suivantes: Aimé Césaire, Birago Diop, Léopold Sedar Senghor, Leon Gontran Damas, Mariama Bâ, Patrick Chamoiseau, Maryse Condé, Assia Djebar, Cheikh Hamidou Kane, Ahmadou Kourouma, Camara Laye, Henri Lopes, Jacques Roumain, Kateb Yacine, Franz Fanon. Marie NDiaye, de père sénégalais, de mère et de lieu de naissance française, pourrait être un autre sujet méritant et digne.

The lesson says you never use dans for months or years. So if a delivery will be made in one month you don’t say la livraison sera effectuée *dans* un mois?
