French language Q&A Forum

In this story, the writer is still waiting the response from the interviewers, thus I would assume he is still working. Hence shouldn't we use Je travaille tellement dur depuis quelques années ? I assume he is still working hard....  :) 

Hi, in “Ce jour-là, tous les gens qui me connaissent le savent bien,” why are both connaître and savoir conjugated? There seems to be only one subject, so normally I find the second verb to be in the infinitive. 

So, it's been sooo long since I have heard that song that I had to look it up. 

Great mnemonic device!

Just one little suggestion: 

Change the word "Shoulders" to "Pebbles" and you have all seven words which use an "x" to form the plural.

Jewels, Pebbles 

Knees and Toys (repeat)

Ca-a-bba-age 

Lice and owls

Jewels, pebbles

Knees and toys!!

Or: You could try it in French:

Bijoux, Cailloux

Genoux, Joujoux (repetez)

Chou-ou-ou-oux

Poux et hiboux

Bijoux, Cailloux

Genoux Joujoux

Merci et Bonne Continuation !

Dear Sir or Madame: The last line lists "quatre cent variétés de fromage français." Why is it quatre cent vs. quatre cents?  The lesson on large numbers would lead me to believe this should be plural.  Also, how would I write out this question as posed in French?

In this context, can we say "...mon père et moi (nous) nous en allions en weekend ensemble." ?

The question asked for the correct version translated with despite not in spite but this is still labeled correct. I'm confused.

  À l’initiative d’alors Ministre de la Culture ….. can we say this instead of à l’époque? 

Dans la phrase "...donc je suis resté à la maison...", j'ai choisi "chez moi " au lieu de "à la maison".  Pourquoi est-ce que "chez moi" n'est pas correct ? 

Why can't I write "Ton père est dans la prison.?

I think "dans la" & "en" both work in this example. My reasoning is that prison is a physical place.
