French language Q&A Forum

Hi - I see from a previous discussion that the meaning of a verb (e.g. commencer à/ commencer de) can slightly change depending on whether it is followed by à or de. Is this also true for  continuer à / continuer de? 

Are there also slight differences in meanings with the verbs mentioned above?

Thanks - Tammy

Why is je découpais dans les magazines in the imperfect?  For me it seems like an action and should be in passé composé.

Hi!  I was wondering if i could use 'aux' for countries like Japan, Nigeria

Or is it just 'au'

Since USA uses 'aux'

Thanks in advance

Shouldn't the phrase be "tout ensemble" as in "all together"?

When I look up burgond/e in wordreference or anywhere else, nothing appears. But, Bourgogne does show for the Burgundy region. Is a burdgond/e someone form the region? Why is it not bourgogne/bourgogné or something else more similar?

One of the quiz questions was "Le Comte Dracula habite _____________ Roumanie.

I wrote "en la" because I assumed, per the regular rule, that Romania is feminine (therefore takes -en) and is a country, not a city, and would require the article "la".  Since the sentence is not about going-to or coming/being-from, it would require the article, n'est-ce pas?

You really need to get some kind of speed adjustment to these "beginners" exercises I am get frustrated with them. Lines like: "Il y a aussi des nuages noirs dans le ciel" and "donc je pense qu'un orage se prépare" and just too fast. I was feeling happy with myself until I got to the second part and the only reason why I couldn't get them was because of speed!

And yes I will log this with support again.

Thank you

Am still confused on how to use ce and cet pliz its still a problem am still left out

Please could you explain why, in your question, 'I watch the film', it was ''I' who was the subject , but in your next question 'Alice watches the girl', it was 'the girl' who was the subject of the sentence.
