French language Q&A Forum

In this sentence - 'William Jones déclarait au sujet de cette langue ancestrale : "La langue sanscrite...' - why is the imperfect used with an action that happened only once, and on a specified date ?

I answered "Nous avons peiné a" rather than "avions du mal à". I think struggle is the better translation. 

I've always been baffled about when a hyper is used as in this interview "As-tu..."  Je bison d'aide!

 Not sure about this.. I have it wrong but, I suspect for the wrong reason

If you are asking YOU must, surely that demands Tu or vous.. il faut, ok, but surely this must then be il faut que tu ailles à l'école?

Hang on, the example says les chats voient dans la nuit so why is Les chats gris voient dans la nuit wrong and the wanted answer Les chats gris voient la nuit?

Is there any difference between Je vu des fleurs and J'ai vu des fleurs?; i am wondering why ''J'ai ''instead of  ''Je'' .

I can find no reference with a definition for 'sûre' ?! Is this a colloquialism?

How exactly do you know when to use "des" in French?

Merci !
