French language Q&A Forum

Hello, I have a technical question. Why aren’t these called possessive pronouns? Is the term interchangeable with possessive adjectives? It’s been a long time since I’ve been in school, but I don’t remember the term “possessive adjectives” at all.  Thank you.

Could someone please explain when to use which of the above?   Thanks

In the quiz there's a sentence that reads:

Christophe finissait son déjeuner quand les autres sont arrivés. 

The English translation says

Christopher was finishing his breakfast when the others arrived. 

The quiz says déjeuner not petit-déjeuner. 

This exercise uses "la batterie à plat elle aussi."  I don't uderstand the need for "elle."  What purpose does it serve?

I think this was the most difficult writing challenge I have ever completed.  Both the vocabulary and the grammar were extremely difficult.

My Notebook is too long and complicated, can I easily divide it into two or more Notebooks?

Why does she say le nom des plants, but not les noms as plural?

On the introductory page of the dictée "Rendez-vous pour le contrôle technique", the word is spelled 'defectueux'. But in the body of the exercise, in section four where it appears, it is spelled 'défecteux'.

Hi, has “ Je vais suivre tes conseils, merci.” been imported from a different exercise incorrectly? It doesn’t seem to belong there at all. Brian

Could you not answer Oui j'y crois ??

Bonjour Aurelie,

Je me demande si Enzo est votre propre fils ? Je peux vous imaginer dans sa chambre en train de lire ses livres ensemble ! 

A very cute story!
