French language Q&A Forum

I've seen the word weekend spelled with () & without () the hyphen in different French publications. As this is an adopted English word is there actually any guidance for how to correctly spell this or is it just a matter of style?

This excerise, says 'soudain' instead of 'soudainment'... can someone speak to this for me please :) Or point me to a lesson! Thank you.

And sudden -- instead of And suddenly.

this dictée made me smile.  It's heartening to know that certain domestic issues are universal! :) 

Aujourd'hui je récolte beaucoup de citrouilles de me jardins.  Presque trente en tout.  Nous avons eu un peu de gel mais demains j'espère récolter le reste du maïs doux pour les geler.  Je suis en accord.  J'adore l'automne!!

I know it is only correct to say Je vain manger à huit heures. However, in response to À quelle heure ?,  I've seen the phrase At nine o'clock written as both À neuf heures and A neuf heures. Are both A and À correct to use in this instance?

In the lesson it says:

As for the years post 2000's,

There is only one way to read them, and that is as a full number:

But there are still many years to come after the year 2000 (infinitely many actually). 

So, how would you say 'the 10th of March 2155'? (my 200th birthday :)

"Le dix mars vingt et-un-cents cinquante cinq" or "Le dix mars deux mille deux cents cinquante cinq" (or neither)?

Bonjour,

Je n'ai jamais vu cette expression avant. Est-ce que c'est la même chose que de dire « Bien qu'elle soit » ?

Merci!

What is the difference between pour and de l'ordre à?

During a quiz, the question posed was, 

Vous _______________ dans le placard. 

I conjugated it as Vous êtes cachés but it marked it as wrong. Is there a distinction when the subject is to one person? I am a bit confused. 

I am not sure if this is perhaps different with American English but as someone from the UK this sounds like Anne and Antoine are in the process of going somewhere to walk their dog e.g. in their car driving to a forest.  It does not imply that they are in the process of actually walking their dog.  I agree that there is a subtlety specifically with the question which is that the phrase includes "with their dog" but the "are going for" implies that they are not actually yet walking their dog but intend to go for a walk with their dog.  For instance if I were to say "I am going shopping to buy some food" it means that I am not actually in the process of doing the shopping.  Can you please clarify if "se promènent" is the actual current act of doing something or describing the intention to do the act?
