French language Q&A Forum

Hi, is there anywhere to find lateral translations of French phrases, allong side the usual translations? For example, with lui and leur it would help me to have the 'to...' aswell as the usual English. Thanks.

This question doesn't direct us to use a specific verb. It only gives us the english "to hate" so why can't we use hair? Sorry can't figure out the accents on my keyboard.

I have been corrected, (- but not marked wrong), for using a comma between two halves of soit ... soit ... , and there seems to be no consistency between when to do so, and when not too. HELP !!!

Hi, do you have a lesson/primer on the various accent marks used over letters, including how they are pronounced and when to use them? I have tried several searches on the site and cannot find it. 

I find this topic confusing, and it trips me up in the lessons.

Thanks, Larissa

I translated this as 'Il était incroyable hier' - but it was marked wrong, citing the correct answer as, 'Il a été hier'    why? Even when I put it into a translator it says it should be était. What am I missing?

Halo friends,

I find French very interesting and wish to immerse myself deeply in the language. Any suggestions of the links I could use to get access to french tv shows,news and many others? Thank you.

Would you say a doctor visites ses patients, OR il rend visite à ses patients?

Can anyone explain why the subjunctive 'puisse' is used here?

Hello, please explain why s’agit à construction was used in the phrase « Il s'agissait à l'origine d'une cérémonie honorant l'explorateur René Robert Cavelier« 

Thank you
