French language Q&A Forum

The speaker sounds like he is pronouncing the 't' in 'ecart', which should be silent. It almost sounds as if he is saying: "Ils ont cinq ans d'equatre".

When I listened to the word "ecart" in the Collins online dictionary it had the correct pronunciation with the 't' being silent.

Otherwise, I enjoyed this exercise and learned a new word: "ecart".  And, now, I don't think I will easily forget it either!

In the passage, "... où vous profiterez de paysages naturels magnifiques", how does one know if we are referring to one paysage or multiple paysages?  If I am in a castle, I think I would be looking at one paysage around the castle.

Est-ce qu'on peut utiliser le mot français, la péninsule, au lieu de 'la presqu'île' ?  Si non, quelle est la différence ?

Scratching my head as usual on this subject. This time concerning "et j'ai joué de moins en moins".  Since I was doing this (playing) less and less, surely that means I was continuing to do it in the past, if I'd only done it once as a completed action, I ipso facto couldn't have been doing it "less and less"!  - hence, I thought,  "Je jouais de moins en moins". Why is it Passé composé? (Will I EVER get my head round this particular issue: it's always the thing that trips me up!)

In the sentence '80.000 tonnes de cassoulet en conserve sont consommés chaque année' shouldn't 'tonnes' agree with 'consommés' ?

Dear Teacher 

I could not identify, When we use Après étres and when Après avoir?

Why do we use "c'est aussi" to say "it was"?  Also why "c'est le premier octobre" to say "it was the first of October"?

is pire only for adjectives and not for adverbs? eg is it correct to say "je danse le plus mal", but wrong to say "je danse le pire"? thanks!
