French language Q&A Forum

sometimes its je leur parle sometimes je parle aux leur,; how do we know which is which. think im missing something here

In the lesson you state:

English is my native language and I would never say "neither one nor the other". I would say "Neither the one nor the other" or better, as offered "Neither." "Neither one nor the other" just doesn't sound right. "Neither one" seems sufficient (and a third alternative) making the addition of "nor the other" seem superfluous and inappropriate. I wonder if this isn't a dialectical difference within North America. 

so I was doing a quiz on Kwiziq and the question was "C'est amusant." means: to which I answered "it is funny". It gave me an 'almost there' mark and I don't get why. It says the right one is 'This is funny'. 

Here is a link to the song on YouTube, which works for me

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.

Can someone please help me figure out why the correct answer to "Savez vous . . . s'est passé" is "ce qui" and not "qu'est ce qui se passé"? I thought the latter meant "what happened?" 

Thanks! 

1-  I am unsure of when to use "personnes" and when to use "gens."  I had, "Disons une trentaine de gens."

2-  Why is it "Ma mère adore le fruit de la passion et l'ananas"  with the definite article but "...mais les enfants préféreraient du chocolat"  ?

I thought this was a general opinion and therefore chose the definite article "le" for "chocolat," as well.

As stated in the lesson if you are emphasizing something in the past "en train de" can be used.  Therefore if you are emphasizing "Henri was having a nap when his boss came in "

"Henri était en train de faire une sieste ..." should be acceptable

Missing: "Ce qui me plait plus que tout, c'est l'ambiance détendue,"

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