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?

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.

Re "Je ____ reviens aussi". I was taught that when it's a question of "place" you use "y". So, "J'y reviens aussi.," J'en reviens" sounds really weird to my ears. "J'en ai eu assez" sounds fine..... Can you explain please?  

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?????

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?  

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?

The lesson to explain when to use le subjontif or l'indicatif doesn't, in plain language explain the trigger to cause one to use either tense. It needs to more deeply describe when and why each tense is chosen. This, of course, is my opinion as a student.
