French language Q&A Forum

Test accepts only the 2nd form, but both should be correct, no?

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

And you, how are you?

The corrections switch from French to English. Why? Is there a way to stop this?

Why am I getting 0 score for writing in French?????

1. Puis-je écrire « où » au lieu de « quand » ici ?

2. Est-ce qu'il y a une règle qui nous permet de déterminer quelles expressions anglaises contenant « with » se traduiraient par « de » en français ?

3. « Une fondue chinoise » est-elle un plat suisse ?

Merci de votre coopération.

In this lesson about de/d'in front of adjectives preceding nouns, there are examples:

des endroits magnifiques

de magnifiques gâteaux 

I understand the point about using de when the adjective precedes, but why is magnifique used both before and after the nouns in these examples?

HI there, long time fan, first time commenter. 

I have no idea what 'that's it' is supposed to mean in this context? It isn't a phrase I would ever use unless used in the following scenarios: 

"That's it! You've cracked the case." (When referring to a previous piece of information or clue or input).

"That's it. I've had enough." 

"That's it. I've been looking for it everywhere" (here I would use 'that's the one' instead).

Could you please provide an alternative of what this is supposed to mean? As this translation feels awfully unnatural to me. Is this a specific phenomenon that can't really be translated or is situational? As I would never say "That's it. She finally got her results" in this way?  

Hello,

J'utilise ces tomates. ________ les dernières.
Why is it "ce sont" rather than "elles sont." It sounds like we are speaking about specific tomatoes, hences "elles." I am using these tomatoes. They are the last ones. These specific ones right here that we are both looking at.

Thanks!
