French language Q&A Forum

« Je possède trois appartements, ---- deux sont loués » is one of the kwiziq questions in this section.

« J'ai trois enfants, dont deux qui sont au collège. » is one of the examples from the lesson.

Also from the lesson " If including / [number] of which is followed by a conjugated verb, in French you need to add a relative pronoun (qui or que / qu') in front of the verb. "

There is no space in the question to write "dont deux qui sont loués" in the quiz answer.

Is this a mistake in the question/answer format, or is there a grammatical reason for the difference -eg passive voice - that I am missing ? The explanation and examples  in the lesson do not seem to match the answer this question, as presented, appears to call for.

Cuisinions vs cuisions ? Thought cuisions was subjunctive 

Bonjour,

I'm curious to learn why 'brun' is an unacceptable translation of 'brown' (as applied to hair colour), in favour of 'marron' which is just a particular shade of brown.

What is the meaning of écrin ? It's not clear from searching the french dictionaries.

 Je m'appelle nadini et je viens de colombo en la Srilankais

I'm not clear on the rule for verb conjugation when the subject has a name e.g., James, and then what when 2 named subjects - James and Martha (mixed gender) are doing the same thing, does that differ in terms of conjugation rules? and then what about plural same gender or mixed group?

I had this same question, as I forgot the above lesson, so I thought I should respond as it would save others time. The question related to: 'si je POUVAIS, j'aurais été astronaute.'

Why soit d’argent soit un cadeau?  Why not soit de l’argent or soit d’un cadeau?

Would be be incorrect to say " j’ai (tu,il,elle,etc) une fièvre " ? As in English "I have a fever" as Cécile notes “j’ai une bronchite" or is it alway "j’ai de la… (I have fever)"
