French language Q&A Forum

The exercise gave two possibilities: passer prendre et venir chercher.  My dictionary adds aller chercher, which is what I chose.  Is this not a possibility? Is it a question of perspective in this case?  The speaker is the one being picked up, hence venir.  If the speaker was asking what time he should pick someone up, then perhaps aller is preferred over venir.

Is 'pas' missing because this is spoken French? Or is this a case where it isn't needed?

In answer to Stephen's question:

Aurelie wanted to write a little poem for us to make it more fun and enjoyable. 

"Baluchon" rhymes with "regions". 

I learned a new word: "Baluchon". It is a bit old-fashioned and I can picture a hobo with his "baluchon" over his shoulder.

This lesson was also a nice review of: "galettes" and "beffroi".

Merci !

Is abricot not masculine? Why is it à l'abricot instead of au abricot? Thank you

In the text the 'e' at the end of 'carte' seems to be pronounced. If so could you please explain why this is, as the next word 'bleue' starts with a consonant and not a vowel (which then normally requires the liaison). Thank you.

Salut! Pourquoi vous donnez le mot "faible" quand le reponse que vous voulez est basse? Thanks

It would be good to see some examples with que as well, not just qui or qu'

"If including / [number] of which is followed by a conjugated verb, in French you need to add a relative pronoun (qui or que / qu') in front of the verb"

Questions including sentenses like "This bedroom is grey. - Yes, it's grey here."  make absolutley no sense to me.

What is "Yes, it's grey here" referring to? The weather, or a completely different bedroom perhaps. 

As I have no idea, I have to quess and and so keep getting the answer wrong.

I would be grateful if you could tell me what the question means by using different words.

Hi, normally, there is a hint when a proper name is used, but not in this case for Cyril. Is that intentional? Are we supposed to be good enough by now to pick up proper names?  :)
