French language Q&A Forum

I just did a quiz and got an answer wrong. I answered d' in front of eau but the correct answer was de l'.

If that is the case, why do the French say carafe d'eau and not carafe de l'eau?

I'm working my way through grammar topics in my French course, and I'm finding it a little difficult to isolate which topics I haven't got a 100% score yet. When I go to the FRENCH GRAMMAR LESSONS library, is there a filter or something that shows you only those lessons which you haven't practiced and/or completed?

I think there is a mistake in this text : "une ballade dans le Quartier Latin"

 I think   "une balade" would have been what was intended ? 

Paul. 

Hi,

In the above examples, the je/tu/il/elle/on conjugations sometimes use plaî--- and sometimes use plai---. Is this an oversight or is it intentional?

Thank you.

Does "Qu'est-ce qui ... ?" exist in French? I already understand Qui, & Qui est-ce qui questions.

Bonjour!

Can we reframe this sentence as "Je ne connais pas personne en dehors de mon petit cercle d'amis."?

Merci

How are we to guess at correct punctuation?  Unless you can remember the entire speech, it is sometimes difficult to tell whether a section should end with a comma, a period or an exclamation point.  (And, actually, the sentence beginning "Paul va prendre sa voiture..." is a declarative sentence and not a question.) I have not been counting myself off where such punctuation is concerned because there seems to be no definite way to determine what the correct punctuation should be.

Hello! Does anyone know a way to restart the brainmap? I had Kwiziq premium in 2020 and was able to nearly complete the brainmap for French but then I stopped. Now it's been five years. I repurchased premium but would prefer a blank slate since I have forgotten a lot. Does anyone know the answer?
