French language Q&A Forum

 Bonjour Kwiziq . J'aime lire les textes depuis les website differents et cette texte aide moi dans francais beacoup . Cette topic  est beaucoup interresant . il y a des  nouvelle mots j'aime. La picture matcher chaque person  personalite. J'adore cette texte beacoup.  I really love reading texts from different websits and this website helped my french alot. The topic is very interesting. There are new words I loved . The picture matched each person's personality . I absouletly loved this text!

Il me semble qu'il y a un typo.

For the question "Je suis resté cinq jours à Mykonos, mais ________ à Paris", I was marked incorrect for answering "je ne suis que resté trois jours". The accepted answer was "je ne suis resté que trois jours". How does placing "que" before or after "resté" change the emphasis or meaning of this statement? "But I stayed only three days in Paris" vs "But I only stayed three days in Paris". I cannot see the distinction that makes one form wrong and the other right. 

I have trouble hearing the difference between "serai" and "serais".  Does one rely on context, or is there some magic formula that will make everything clear? :)

Merci beaucoup, vous m'avez donné beaucoup de plaisir avec cet exercice - j'ai regardé quelques de ses vidéos sur YouTube (surtout celles avec des sous-titres, dont il n'y en a pas beaucoup). Je me pleurais de rire, aussi.

"Il avait même fallu que les autorités démentissent le canular". According to a conjugation guide I use, this sentence appears to use "démentir" in the subjunctif imparfait, which I think is rarely used today in French. Would it be better as "que les autorités démentent" (present subjunctive)? Or maybe "aient démenti" if a subjunctive in the past tense is needed here? 

1-  I am unsure of when to use "personnes" and when to use "gens."  I had, "Disons une trentaine de gens."

2-  Why is it "Ma mère adore le fruit de la passion et l'ananas"  with the definite article but "...mais les enfants préféreraient du chocolat"  ?

I thought this was a general opinion and therefore chose the definite article "le" for "chocolat," as well.

Bonjour .

Me being a beginner of the language French, usage of Alors and Donc baffles me.

Can someone help me of how to use both these in practical context.

Merci Beaucoup

I am a little unclear as to what the definition of Indirect Speech is especially as it applies to the examples given in the lesson and in the use of verbs such as, 'se demander' and 'savoir'. 

How is this Indirect Speech:

Je me demande si tu viens ou pas. ? 

What I do understand is that in cases where 'whether = if', then 'si + Mode Indicatif' is applied.

The way I usually work it out in my mind is if the sentence is expressing the idea of 'regardless of which' or 'whether or not' than 'Que + Le Subjunctif' is used.
