French language Q&A Forum

Hi Cécile , I wish to make a suggestion concerning the translation to English of two sentences in the examples and resources section. I suggest that you add THAT , to illustrate the difference in the usage of que between French and English ( in English we drop but not in French). So I suggest that the English translation for the French sentence il ne croit pas que nous lui voulions du mal becomes; he doesn’t believe THAT we want to hurt him, and the second sentence to change is: je doute qu’ils veuillent venir becomes I doubt THAT they will come.  A suggestion to highlight the difference. Especially that in the last sentence you have used that in the translation. Thank you.

Hi,

How often can I take the quiz of the topics in my notebook and how long do I have to wait after first attempt to do it again please? thank you.

Hello , to my understanding , there are 2 types of question ,formal and informal . But what type is this that the question "Combien coûte ce livre ?" belongs to ?, Because it's not follow the formulas for formal type ( Est-ce que or inversion ) . And it's not also follow the formula itonation for informal type (question word + statement itonation) like Combien ce livre coûte ?. Why combien is an adverb but can be followed by a verb (coûte).  So it confuses me here  . Can you explain for me please ?

Bonjour,

Can you explain how to determine which nouns are masculine and which are feminine?

Merci

Comment traduirait-on " j'ai pris du retard"?

Use contacted articles to complete the following sentence 

J'habite _____pune 

should be  he/she/one has fun then we/people have fun

It would be she has fun or he has fun one has fun.. why is that not shown. Also seems so insane not to use of the verb to have avoir ??? alas just what is. 

What pronoun could work for  a mixture of life genders as a collective pronoun :They(John and Mary) are eating.

I know that she did not say Tu vas l'adorer but why didn't she?  Is it an idiosyncratic expression that doesn't require an object?
