French language Q&A Forum

Hi, for “but I used to play it all the time when I was a teenager” we are given the answer “mais j'y jouais tout le temps lorsque j'étais adolescente”. 

I had put “mais je le jouais…”. What’s a good way to interpret why it should be “y” and not “le”?

Thanks, Brian

Hi

Why is it 'aux prix' and not 'au prix'.  Isn't prix singular?

Thanks

Megan

why is fringues not okay instead of vetements? Why is les toilettes not correct in this sentence " Oui, bien sûr, il est dans la salle de bains, sous le lavabo."?

Can we use the expression il y a in this sentence, insted of "où est"? Bastien, tu sais où est le panier à linge  ?

“trois-cent-quarante    three hundred and forty”

However, in the lesson “Expressing large numbers -thousands/millions/billions - in French” the description begins with:

“Up to neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuf [choses] (999 [things])”       

Which example is correct? Should there be hyphens between all parts of the number, or just some of them?

Thank you.

What if you want to use a pronoun how would you say it. Example j'ai rendu visite à ma soeur. In this case if I want to replace à ma soeur with a pronoun 

I was taking one of the B1 tests and came across this problem. Could you please explain.

For "Do you know what happened?" I was marked wrong for "Savez-vous qu'est-ce qui s'est passé ?"

Only "Savez-vous ce qui s'est passé ?" is accepted. I feel my answer should be accepted.

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

Hello: Please, could someone tell me the difference in usage between "ou" and "où." I'm tripped up once again by the diacritical marks.

Thank you in advance to all kind and patient souls.

Cheers!

If I fill up a form with my nationality –

Example one: nationalité: autricien

Example two: nationalité: autricienne

I am a male Austrian, but I fill up with the feminine word 'nationalité' that agrees with the feminine adjective 'autricienne' but I don't know which example is correct.

Please tell me which example is appropriate for a male Austrian nationality. Thank you. 

This is all too difficult for me .  I need to go to day one, very beginning, very basic
