French language Q&A Forum

Confused by the use of "Lui" in "je LUI ai fait faire sa valise" and "je LUI ai même bandé les yeux" as they both don't use "à"? Or am I mistaken?

Is it possible to just use the keyboard when navigating the site (especially when doing exercises, quizzes, etc...)? Of course, a mouse can always be used, but when you're trying to concentrate on the subject matter having to remove your hands from the keyboard and back all the time is just one extra thing to think about. It's pretty standard to use the tab key to move from item to item and the return key to execute (click) an item. But I notice that this only partially works on the site. For example, I can use tab  to select an audio, but then I don't see how to play it (without the mouse).  Maybe there's a secret shortcut, but I searched for keyboard and shortcut in the FAQ and Forum and couldn't find it. In any event, thanks for the great site -- trying to help you make it even better.

Hi there, just wondering why we don't need to accord the 'grande forme' as 'grandes formes' with the attackers (plural)

 "et nos attaquants ne sont pas en grande forme."

Thanks!

Do you use un or une when using nous and vous? I'm studying professions in sentences, and 2 of the sentences went as follows:

"Nous sommes ____ ____________" (The profession was a journalist)

"Vous etes ____ _____________" (The profession was a cook)

I'm confused on this and can't seem to find any articles online about it :(

What are the guidelines for using ‘l’exposition’ over ‘l’exhibition’, because up until now I have always used ‘l’exposition’ to describe an exhibition. In fact, I thought ‘l’exposition’ was unique for exhibition.

Why is ce matin-là preferable to cette matinée and why is the latter not acceptable?  I thought that if you wanted emphasis on the morning, you would use matinée vice matin.  I realize that the là added to matin certainly adds the focus, but why is cette matinée not given as another possibility.   As you may have already surmised, I struggle with these masculine / feminine forms for morning, day, evening, year, etc. despite having reviewed the lesson.  Thanks for your guidance in advance.

...the text option “où, comme chaque année, nous avons fêté Noël.” has the audio “où nous avons fêté Noël.”

“A corner-kick” would be a useful addition to the list !
