French language Q&A Forum

Thanks for the encouragement on the world environmental outlook as well as your encouragement of our sometimes snail like progress.  I did this exercise 3 years ago and improved from 49 to 53.  While I have made some meager progress, I feel the world, particularly with what just happened in the USA, is moving in the other direction.  Nevertheless, I will continue the march toward toward fluency.  What would help would be the ability to review your mistakes from past exercises.  If there is a way to do this, I don't know how.  In any case, thanks for your support and keep the challenges coming !

"Elle est la seule personne qui puisse m'aider = She is the only person who can help me"

Pourquoi pouvons-nous utiliser le subjonctif dans cette phrase ? 

Is the pronunciation of vont a bit odd in this phrase ?

Can I say, "Vas-tu a ta chambre? Cache-t'y!" as y refers to a ta chambre? All grammar books seem to indicate that y replaces a + noun (except persons).

I don't understand

why is it: ils ont des dollars et des euro. 

Why use des, not les as money is coutable? 

“You sang onstage?” Is rendered by you as “Vous avez chanté au scène.” I think it could also be “Vous chantiez…” if the person being addressed had bern a professional singer. No?

I marked myself down for writing "je fais une soupe tiède" rather than "je fais une soupe chaude". 

In English warm doesn't mean hot, and in fact I'm not sure we would say "warm soup", but "hot soup". Does "tiède" mean warm? Or do we always use "chaud" for food?

Also, the bot corrected my "une crème brûlée fait maison" to "une crème brûlée faite maison" so I also marked myself down for that and then it turned out my original version was fine after all. :)
