I just want to clarify can the following be either, 'what is this' or 'what is that?' If not, how do you change the sentence to be one or the other?
Or is it it for example:
qu'est-ce que c'est : What is that?
qu'est-ce que c'est que cela: What is this?
Qu'est-ce que c'est que cela ?What is that? / What is this?Qu'est-ce que c'est que ça ?What is that? / What is this?C'est quoi ça ?What is this? / What is that?I don't know if this is important, but in English (at least, American) we don't usually say "food shopping" but "grocery shopping". =)
if present tense is used for historical events, why use ‘La Fontaine est né’ and not ‘La Fontaine naît’?
In a lot of the French sentences on Kwiziq, the stress sounds like it is on an odd part of the sentence and I can't figure out the pattern. For example, in "Tu te laves les mains?" above, the word laves is stressed in the recording. And the voice doesn't rise at the end like I would expect for a question. Is that how the question would really be spoken in French? Is there a section here that explains which parts of a sentence are normally stressed?

i thought with body parts it was usually 'les' which should be used. In the suggestions during the exercise, there were options to use either. Does it depend on the verbe (trempe or plongé) ?
Bonjour,
In the sentence from the lesson which reads-
“Vous allez aux Etats-Unis.” Here the acute accent on ‘E’ is missing . Should it not be as “États-Unis”?
