French language Q&A Forum

In English if there are two children then he or she is the elder not the eldest.

Eldest is used when there are three or more.

Est-ce 

'sur le plancher' remplace 'sur le sol / par terre' ?

plancher ça veut dire floor????

Merci

  I notice that in the written and dictation practice exercises, the material drawn upon is mainly focused on the level that the exercise is from, and doesn't seem to build as much on the progress of grammatical topics from previous levels.

   I find that in doing lessons from lower levels, I often catch myself not knowing something, and it's very humbling. But that's what I'm here to do (I have a premium subscription to progress with Lawless French), to learn another language.

  Thank you in advance for any feedback.

Why is it 'Elle me rappelle Paula' rather than  'elle rappelle Paula à moi' ?

Pourquoi manque-t-il l’article au nom de Haïti ?

The quick Lesson on this sites that in the negative imperative the subject pronoun (tu, vous, nous) is dropped.

In Schaum's Outlines text, I see the following negative imperatives: Ne te reveille pas,  Ne nous reveillons pas, and Ne vous reveille pas.

One of the exercise questions in chapter 5 of same text  asks for the negative imperative of "Promenez-vous dans le parc" The answer is Ne vous promenez pas dans le parc.

Having trouble understanding this

not d'autre but une autre ville.

Please explain

Please explain to me why "que porte le maître en raquettes à neige" means the opposite, should it be "que le maître en raquettes à neige porte"?

Hi, I don't really understand when to use the present tense and when to use the future tense after "prochain". eg L'année prochaine, il commence l'université AND  En septembre prochain, Gareth visitera Madrid. In fact I'm a bit vague on Future/Present options in general....A pointer towards a lesson would be appreciated, Thanks.
