French language Q&A Forum

In the mini quiz after the lesson on Du, I translated this sentence as “Julie wants some chocolate”. The lesson on “du” clearly stated this to mean “some”. Why was I marked as not correct? The answer was given as “Julie wants chocolate”. If this translation is the preferred one why is it not taught in the relevant lesson? 

In "et lui avait demandé où", isn't the subject still the author, so that it should be "avais"?

Are the baby names inherently masculine, or do they have female counterparts too, such as un chiot --> une chiotte; un chaton --> une chatonne etc?

position of prochain relative to nouns

Hi,

Can someone please explain what this means? Although I have known French for decades, it really didn't seem to make any sense. To be honest, I am very surprised this is level A1, as even I struggled with it and I got really confused when trying to complete the dictation, especially with this sentence.

Thanks

When are you supposed to use them, please state the circumstances you use them in and if you don't mind, an example too. 

Maybe Vous haïssez la médiocrité as well

Strange, in the learn and discuss, they come out fine.

Example above we have used "Ils ont été" to mean "they were", however I learned elsewhere that to say one was, in the past, we always use imparfait, which in this case would have been "ils étaient". Please help me understand.

In the examples above we use tout in front of "heureuse" which is feminine and use toute in front of "hérissée ". We do the same for heureuses and honteuses. 

What is the difference exactly for these two usages of tout and toute ?

2) Tous, veulent nous interviewer

2nd question: Can 'they all have all of them (eg. books)' be translated as: 'Ils les ont tous tous'?

Thank you.
