French language Q&A Forum

I have let my writing and dictation practice slip because I’m speaking French on a daily basis, but a lesson like this one brings home the need to keep at these weekend challenges, keep practicing, keep adding to the vocabulary bank, keep addressing the grammar. 

When I wrote 's'il vous plaît' (i.e. with a circumflex on the second 'i'), it was, to my mind, mis-corrected in the answer, which suggested that I should remove the circumflex.

What is the difference between 'Alors' and 'Puis'

« ma mère s’est fait ranger ma chambre «  n’est pas français.  it is total nonsense. 

Should this prompt be "tradition has it that he or she be crowned king or queen for the day!"? 

what's the difference between the two please? I saw "tu peux y goûter?" which clearly took the preposition a but I would've said "tu peux le goûter?" Google hasn't helped me! 

Does the same rule explained in this lesson also apply for Lorsque and Alors que ?

'Lorsque je serai vieux, j'aurai une maison.' [When I AM old, I will have a house.]

'Tu feras tes devoirs alors que je ferai la vaisselle.' [You will do your homework while I DO the dishes.]
