French language Q&A Forum

Can I please ask for a little explanation on why is there Conditionel Passé in the text: "elle aurait été" and further on. Thank you!

Several words should be added to the vocabulary to be checked in advance of this exercise: la corvée, la lessive, l'aspirateur, tri des déchets, la poubelle et le lave-vaisselle.

These are not A1 level words!

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 day
Please see the question below:
La France est dotée d'un territoire aux climats et aux reliefs variés, grâce ________ sa production agricole est très diversifiée.

I wrote "à qui", but it was marked incorrect, saying that "auquel" is the only correct answer. Why is "à qui" unacceptable in this context?

My mind gets quite confused by combining the past with the present (subjunctive) in one sentence. This is more a question about the subjunctive mode than about rentrer, but could you explain in which situations you use le passe of the subjunctive? If this sentence used parce que, rather than avant que, what tense would you use? (something like "Mathilde a rentre la voiture parce qu'il allait pleuvoir"? - sorry, no accents; if this structure exists, I wouldn't know what the tense is called!)

Thanks in advance for your clarification!

what can I write them in negative sentences? 

Tom est avocat = Tom n'est pas avocat 

Tom et Pierre  sont  avocats=Tom et Pierre ne sont pas avocats

Maurice est un professeur excellent=Maurice n'est pas un professeur excellent.

Maurice et Tom sont des professeurs excellents=Maurice et Tom ne sont pas des professeurs excellents 

Are these sentences corrects? İf they are not correct can anyone write true correct sentences

Why is it incorrect to write “à deux heures de” rather than “à 2 h de?”

Hi how can you understand because i don't understand what comestibles mean
