Why is this correct? (Qu'est-ce que c'est vs. quel est...)I asked about this previously and I am still confused.
I did a quiz before and it asked how you would ask "what is this" or something to that effect. And it didn't accept "quelle est..." as the correct answer.
The answer I had received is that quelle needs to be followed by a noun. However, previously, my French teachers would say questions like "Quelle est la date?", so I was very confused. Is that phrase incorrect?
Furthermore, I was doing another quiz and got this question:
Quel est le nom ___ restaurant ?
And I was confused why you could ask "what is the name of the restaurant" and use "quel est" and not "qu'est-ce que c'est" or "c'est quoi".
Basically, I'm not understanding if/when you can use "quel est.." or "quelle est..".
Thank you!
What is the difference between mal and malade? It looks like aller is used for mal and être for malade, but what's the difference. There's also "j'ai mal" using avoir, (not in this lesson). But given the context in comparison to this lesson, I'm guessing j'ai mal is used to say specifically where it hurts, but I'm not understanding the other two.
Is "Il va leur téléphoner." the same as " Il va téléphoner à eux."?
In other words, can a sentence written with indirect object pronouns be replaced by one with stress pronouns?
Hello, I can’t find any lessons about “ce dont” on kwiziq though I’ve seen it being used by french people many times. So I look it up on lawless french and find a comparison between “ce dont” and “dont” (https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/indefinite-relative-pronouns-ce-dont-quoi/) and I still can’t tell the difference between the two. Please help. Thank you so much!
This might dive into various grammatical topics, but I can't seem to figure out what rules this sentence should follow:
Est-ce que c'est possible de réserver une table?
Est-il possible de réserver une table?
Which one is in this case grammatically correct and why? Could you both use them in different instances?
