French language Q&A Forum

Après avoir reçu le courrier de Qwiziq la veille, qui avait insisté sur le fait que personne en France ne dit "Bastille Day," j'ai été surpris de recevoir le email d'aujourd'hui.  Maintenant, tous les "Writing Challenges" ont inclus le nom "Bastille Day."  On doit se rappeler que le dernier est en anglais, pas en français.  Alors, pas de contradiction là-dedans, malgrè ma confusion initiale.

I would like to add words to a list and then be quizzed on the spelling.  So the app would say the one word and then check my spelling.  How do I do that?

I put douée - is there any reason why talentueuse was the preferred translation of 'talented'? 

When in conversation or writing, how do I know what object should use feminine or masculine? This is one thing I have never been able to understand it wrap my head around is what makes something feminine or masculine with things that have no gender in English such as fruit or colours

I momentarily thought i had spotted a mistake: 'Chuck Berry avait vraiment le rythme dans la peau' (peau = skin), but apparently it's a French idiom, we say 'in his blood', the french say 'in his skin'. I was momentarily confused by it: 

The English states in the text, that the tree fascinâtes the artist because of the way the branches twist, which I take to be a positive emotion, as she is fascinated by this and inspired to sculpt this. Is there a grammatical reason for this use, or just a feeling of negativity here. Thanks for any response. John

le vin is masculine so we should use du vin instead of de i need clarity on this please

how can on veut mean we want when its singular?
