French language Q&A Forum

I chose to write the number in words for the practice  - however the 's' on the end of " cents " was 'red-marked' as incorrect. 

Under both the traditional and reformed "spellings", I think there should be a terminal 's' following cents in 'deux cents', and unless there is something different about the use with weights (and measures?), the example in the attached lesson (using reformed spelling) seems to confirm this - ' deux-cents soldats '. 

This applies to all the whole number multiples of 100 from 200-900.

Expressing large numbers -thousands/millions/billions - in French

Hi all I used ( tandis que ) instead of pendant que, in the first line.  and it marked it as an erreur. any explanation for that please?.thanks.

From the answers I see to this question in this discussion, we are expected to look through something like 1200 verb conjugations to find which ones fit this category. Even on the Lawless site for Irregular ir verbs, it lists the irregular ir verbs, but only one that changes in the future to an er verb conjugation. Where can one get a simple list of the ir verbs that change to er verb conjugations in the future tense?

Salut

If pas encore cannot be used at the end of a sentence then why can I say: On ne travaille pas encore. As in the example given in the lesson?

Merci en avance

Salut tout le monde! Yesterday and today I used my cellphone to do the quizzes because I can put the accents on the vowels. Unfortunately, I don't know how to put the accents when I use my laptop and I've been called my attention for not putting the accents when I get the results of my quizzes.

Today I noticed that when I used my cellphone I was able to do the "My recommendations" quiz, but I couldn't find the one called "Kwiz now" (Kwiziq score). Both quizzes are different.

Can somebody tell me where I can find the Kwiz now (Kwiziq score) when I am using the cellphone?

Merci beaucoup.

Bonne nuit!

When combining conjugations like ne jamais and ne nulle part, do we keep the nulle part rule of going at the end of the clause?

Example:
Je n'ai jamais nulle part allé
Ou

Je n'ai jamais allé nulle part

I never went anywhere

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.

Not sure if anyone is gonna read this, but for those that are from countries where a billion means a million million, french uses the word billion as well. 

This page confused me a bit since Spanish is my first language and in that language we generally use billion the same way as French, whereas the one thousand million meaning is mostly used in the English speaking world.

How do you spell cause de sure
