French language Q&A Forum

I came across this question in the quizzes. Why are these two sentences correct? One uses the feminine form and the other the masc. They are both referencing the time in the past. How does one determine if it is about the duration or precise moment?

“J’ai passé la journée avec Martin.”

I spent a day with Martin

“J’ai passé un an en Espagne quand j’avais dix-neuf ans.”

I spent a year in Spain when I was 19

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.

I hear « réguliers «   with a soft g sound as in ange , instead of a hard g as in guerre. Is this a particularity of accent?

Hi Team,

Is there any explanation why we say "poche avant" and not "poche devant" in this text ?

Thanks,

Question 1)  Comment se sont passées vos vacances ? Should it not have the final 'es' ?

Query 2) If a question is asked using the past tense, can the reply be in the imparfait?

Why does "de" mean "in" here? 

Hi, why are we using an indirect object in this case? Is the expression "tenir à/par" to hold someone's hand (by the hand)?
