French language Q&A Forum

Is there a list someplace for French verbs that are always followed by à?

Why is it "J'ai du mal à (verb)", instead of "J'ai du mal a (verb)"? 

I only know we use it for locations, such as "Je suis à Paris" 

I don't understand the grammar of parmi lesquels choisir in this sentence. could anyone help to explain? thanks. 

But how can you know which country a person comes from even when they do not give they just ask the person

can you please explain because i do not understand

please, thanks

i am waiting

I would guess that 'j'espere que' take the subjunctive, even when the clause refers to the future.  But the clause is actually in the future!  So does this mean that the future trumps a subjunctive? (I understand that there is no future-subjenctive)

I also had difficulties understanding the sentences because the audio was too fast for me. However, I understand that the french speak fast and I need to spend a lot of time listening to spoken french for my ears to get used to it. 

I'm learning to play the guitar. 

J'apprends à jouer de la guitare.

It's quite difficult because I'm a bit old to start [learning] an instrument. 

C'est assez difficile parce que je suis un peu vieux pour commencer à apprendre un instrument.

I'm happy with my progress, and I hope to continue like this!

Je suis content de mes progrès, et j'espère continuer comme ça !
