French language Q&A Forum

Hi,

Can I say like below also insted of "Patrick va mal en ce moment."

Patrick sent mal en ce moment. (Patrick is feeling bad right now )

Regards,

Rahul

It would be a closer translation I think to say "goes with" in English. As English uses "to go" in the exact same way as french. E.g., "that shirt goes with my sister", is a closer translation than "that shirt suits my sister". In my opinion, as it maintains the "to go with" lineage in its meaning. 

I was wondering if "je préfère rester dedans" would be an acceptable response?

How is it possible to know thr exact punctuation in dictations when none is given? Why is it not just the French which is corrected? What a wind up.

You say you can never use des autres to express some other things, but when i translated, 'I have other shoes' on google translater it came up as ' j'ai d'autres chaussures.' So i'm very confused.Is Google translater wrong?

Est-il correct de mettre une espace avant un point d'exclamation? J'ai été surprise par cela !

Why is "de" used in this example:

Noël rappelle toujours de bons souvenirs à ma mère.

Christmas always reminds my mother of good memories.
but not in this example:
Ça rappelle son enfance à mon frère.It reminds my brother of his childhood
Thanks

it is so hard to return to lessons i want to work on. it is so random.  i am in my 70s and reviewing my french for a trip and its like being in a storm. i cant tie down what i need to work on.
