French language Q&A Forum

I take issue with this.  In the very real sense 'vous vous appelez...'  is 'you call yourself...'.  Not 'votre nom est...' - 'your name is'. 

What I am CALLED - how I refer to myself or how others do - is not what my name is. They are two very different things, and in my family (and throughout many Russian-speaking families - though my family is English) people have names and then the diminutive or 'nickname' form. 

For example, my grandfather's name is Charles.  He is 'called' Ted.  

Therefore, why is 'you call yourself...' an incorrect translation? 

In the above sentence, why is the correct answer "moins d'énergie que" and not "moins d'énergie que de"?  I added the "de" based on this rule: "When expressing there are more/fewer/as many-much [thing/s] than/as [other thing/s], you need to add de after que".  

Can we please have some examples of statements turning into questions in these cases? I am finding it hard to follow how the order of words changes in each situation. Many thanks!

assister + à = to attend

If not, then why does "Je sors au restaurant" imply that the destination is the restaurant? Since both sentences have the same structure "sortir à"  

Sur la paragraph, il est mentionné , que 'toutes les perruques', mais, s'il perruqier , il est le masculin, puis, il est doit, 'tous les perruques-'-?? ce sa?? excusez moiz pour moi français!! Je suis étudiante encore!! 

What time does apres-midi change to soir?  When I was in West Africa and Haiti it was anytime after 12 noon, but I got those answers wrong.  I did not see a definition in the lesson.  Thanks :)

I am unclear on the meaning of two phrases within this test (Google translate didn't help too much)

1. un coup de soleil carabiné

2. sache que j'en bave vraiment

Could someone explain the meaning of these? Thanks
