French language Q&A Forum

Hi - As Adrian mentioned, this is not enough to explain the change from de to du

Note that de becomes du / de la / de l' / des depending on the gender and number of the noun following it (e.g. of the).

Although Chris has offered good explanations in this Q&A forum - it should be in the lesson itself - Can you please add the variation.

The example I sighted uses Une tenue (not une chemise) and the correct answer was given as:

une tenue bleu marine.

When  i learned French in my youth ( I am now 91), the passe simple was called the Past Definite in English, is that still so ? We were also told that its use was confined to literature and it was not used otherwise. Is that correct ?

Good morning. Respectfully, French Canadian does not only mean Québécois.   It includes them and they are in fact a majority but we have many other French Canadians across beautiful country. Thank you.

I practice pronunciation by reading these texts aloud and checking my pronunciation against the recording - that's why I noticed.

In this song, divin enfant is pronounced as if it were divine enfant.  When is the liaison sounded in other adjective-noun groups?

Hello! Can I ask why a student (étudiant) is count as a profession. I met this in one of the quizes and there was no article in front of it. Thank you in advance!
