French language Q&A Forum

Is there any way to determine whether a sentence should end in a period or an exclamation point? In English, there is generally a difference in the tone of voice: a regular, matter-of-fact tone usually indicates a period, while an excited tone (angry, happy, etc.) usually indicates an exclamation point. For most of the sentences in the dictation exercises, I don't hear anything that lets me determine which one I should choose. In this exercise, the only sentence that seems to me to require an exclamation point is the very last one:  « Miam ! »

I know that intonation in French is different from English, but I just don't grasp how some punctuation works in French.

Hello,

Can someone please tell me what 'Qu'est-ce que vous avez de bon aujourd'hui?' actually means?

I have known French for years but I am not familiar with this term.

Please can someone help?

Thank you

In the sentence "Nous allons aux centre-ville, why is it aux instead of au?"

Bonjour,

Je suis encore jeune pour ouvrir ce truc, je sais! mais le problème, c’est que demain j’ai un examen d’entrée pour une école française et que les questions sont très difficiles pour mon niveau.

Does s’en aller take the future proche?  In other words, are “je m’en vais” and “je vais m’en aller” both correct ways of saying “I am leaving”? And if so, are they completely interchangeable, or do they have different senses or nuances?

Thank you!
