The confusion between "nous" and "ils/elles" in French verb conjugations, especially for regular -ER verbs in the present tense,
Hi everyone, sometimes an adjective is added before -une vielle dame - and others are added after - unne règle irrégulière. Are there any rules/tips to know when to put them? Thank you.
Hello,
I had this kwiziq question: Catherine ________ à l'hôtel ce soir. (Catherine is sleeping at the hotel tonight.)
I put the answer for the blank as "est en train de dort", but instead the answer is only "dort". I thought that "dort" would = he/she sleeps (not he/she is sleeping)
I thought that dormir = (to) sleep; être en train de dormir = sleeping.
Thanks for the help!
In the first paragraph and the phrase "il faut entrer dans la tête .." I'm hearing the "t" of "faut" being pronounced.
As there is a "verbe + verb infinitif" situation my understanding is that liaison is forbidden.
However, the "t" sounded does not appear to link across to "entrer".
I would really appreciate some comment !
Hi: I'm unable to parse "résoud" in the following sentence:
D'accord, mais ça ne résoud pas le mystère des clés manquantes !Shouldn't it be "résout"? In fact, I couldn't find "résoud" in the online dictionary (word reference).
Thanks!

Salut, can any one make a sentence when “ on” means ONE? Merciiii beacoup
Think this may have crept in accidentally?
This rule's main aim is to make sure the pronunciation is always [toot] in the feminine. Indeed, in front of a vowel and mute 'h', the last 't' of tout is pronounced because of the liaison, hence no need for the extra 'e'.
Is this saying that the extra e is optional, or is this a rule?
Many thanks

Puis-je écrire "Parmi ceux...." au lieu de "Entre ceux.." ? En anglais, si je me souviens bien, on dit "among" pour plus de deux personnes. Et encore, je ne parle pas toutes les deux langues comme ma langue maternelle.
