French language Q&A Forum

For example, if we're picking out paint colors and I said "Do you like the purple?" I'm talking about a specific thing, would that not be Il est...?

Edit: And it just came up again, this time as "Tu aimes l'école?"  That again is lacking context, are we walking about a specific school or school in general?  

Just a bit confused with this example. It is translated to "you are learning french", so does that mean in French you "take" something you are learning, or does it translate better to something like "I am taking French" (as in a class on French)?

Why is the correct answer: either male or female? The lesson says this:

Mon professeur Bruno et ma professeure Sarah sont gentils

So why is the answer to: "Je suis professeur" not "Leon", why do you say that it could be either?

thanks 

The exercise uses « Mon parfum « 

Is parfum in this context « Flavor »? Is it appropriate to use the word saveur?

Bonjour, si vous veuillez, expliquer svp pourquoi il n’y a pas le subjonctif dans la phrase : Avant tout, il est primordial que vous identifiez au préalable

Merci beaucoup 

Et toi, comment vas-tu?-I think this is how the correct version is

And you, how are you?

When to use ‘je me sens’ and when ‘je sens’!  The question was "Je ne sens rien." can mean?: and one correct answer was 'I don’t feel anything'.  I thought that was incorrect as ‘me’ was needed for ‘feel' , but seemingly not, so when is it?  Couldf someone explain please? 

Hello. I was doing a B1 writing exercise called "Spanish Cooking". Why is "but I struggled more with the tortilla." translated as "J'ai eu plus de mal" and not "J'ai eu plus DU mal"?
