French language Q&A Forum

May have found a missing translation. I put "j'ai choisi de passer le reste de la nuit dans les buissons de Mme. Maron !" and was marked wrong, but "j'ai décidé de passer le reste de la nuit dans les buissons de Mme Maron !" and "j'ai choisi de finir la nuit dans les buissons de Mme Maron !" are accepted translations.

I am wondering why in some cases the futur proche (“Je vais …”) is not listed as a possibility. 

“…four or so…” sounds like an indeterminate or uncountable number to me, hence should be included amongst the right answers to the use of “quelques”.  is it four or isn’t it four? :-)

Hi !

In the question Audrey adores ____________. , I found the answer was le mercredis. Why did the answer use le instead of les ?

Hope you answer soon !

Asked to translate, “L’Oréal are selling a new product,” the correct answer given is “L'Oréal vend un nouveau produit” I assume that this product is new on the market, in other words a new creation. Why then is the correct answer not, “produit neuf”?

I spent a while trying to understand this sentence, as there are several examples given later on with "que" or "qu’" at the beginning, eg qu’est-ce ?", "que veut-il ?"and indeed those starting "qu’est-ce que". I reckoned it only applies to your first group of sentences where intonation, rather than inversion is used to ask the question - is that right?

Hi,

We can't hear "Apportez un pique-nique."

Is the pronunciation of the 's' optional in tandis que?

Here in SW France, you’ll often come across the road sign “le funérarium” directing you to the funeral parlour. In more formal language, they will also often talk about “des obsèques”, and I believe this refers to the whole funeral service.
