I just knew the word défi. And I would imagine the word comes from défiance. Is there any difference between these two words? Thank you.

Can anybody explain why this is wrong?.. I can see pour as an alternative but why is pendant wrong here as it is, surely, expressing a duration.

Par exemple, la semaine prochaine, pendant Pâques, nous ferons une chasse aux œufs en français ! 

Giving "pour" as correct.

Suggest translate the French expression with an English equivalent expression - eg 'first go' or 'first time' : "But, I managed first go/time" ? Using more formal English confuses the translation, especially when it is changed from the general 'first go' to the specific 'on my first attempt'.

I don't fish - but looking at Larousse and the Académie site, it seems 'les leurres' is more appropriate for "the lures, and "appat"  for bait. Les leurres gets a strikethrough currently, but is correct.

what is the difference between annee and an? ive only heard of/used annee before

L'infinitif du verbe 'est' c'est......?

The English sentence is: Fantastic! I can't wait to try my new skis.

Why is it - J'ai hâte d’essayer mes nouveaux skis. When the English is negative.

I had " Je n'ai pas hâte d’essayer mes nouveaux skis.

Salut. Je m'appelle Favour..l was asking if we were in the thirtieth years like 3009 will it be written trois mille neuf  or am l lost

Why is example (1) wrong, i.e. dans lequel when example (3) dans laquelle is correct???  Don’t really get your explanation???
