French language Q&A Forum

This is a contribution to help others who might find this confusing:

In French, there are certain sentence constructions or even verbs that could be made negative with just the addition of "ne". The addition of "pas" and the likes isn't necessary. This concept is called "Ne littéraire". 

Clauses containing "si" are one of those instances where the Ne littéraire could be used.

Hello, i have classic Imparfait vs Passe compose questions: 

Can someone explain to me why "je n'ai pas toujours aimé ça" and not " je n'aimerais pas toujours ça". I thought this is the case where you describe opinion in the past.

Also instead of "je m'y suis habitué" can I use "j'en avais l'habitude" or "j'en ai l'habitude". Is the use "avoir l'habitude de" or "se habituer" can be interchangeable or they should be use in different context?

how do I get other stories.  I lost the one about the father who reassures his son about the monster under the bed.

Is there any difference between the three of them? 

- chercher à and essayer or chercher à and tenter (for specific). Tks!

In the sentence "peu importe qu'il vienne ou pas"

Where is the "le" to go with the "que?"

Does this originate from France? Is there a melody?

I understand around 70-80% of the audio on B1 level. Although, due to minor errors, i score myself around 45-50 out of 60 most times. Is this the right level for me, or should i just move on to a harder level (B2). Also, out of curiousity, do these exercises really help in improving listening ability? I ask this because in real world scenarios, we would not have the opportunity to replay the audio when people are speaking to us. I would like to know if this is a tested way to improve listening comprehension, since this is my priority for now...Thanks!

Dear Team

Would it be correct if I use  à l'heure for this sentance  

" vous devriez arriver à l'heure pour manger avec nous"
