French language Q&A Forum

brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

the est-ce que sounds really wrong and nasally

I notice the recommended translations of 'who herself became Queen of France' are all 'qui elle-même devint reine de France'.

But I assume you could also write 'qui devint elle-même reine de France' ?

Or does this sound less natural to French ears?

When/why do we use article définis before the Auxiliary? 

Why is the answer to this:  Sarah ________ la salade à Michel.

se passe as opposed to passe?  

Isn't this a simple act of passing something, as in the first example, "passer quelque chose"?  I understood that it only needed the reflexive pronoun for something happening or someone doing without something.   Can you enlighten me?

Thanks.

in the sentece  'a variety of TV programs appeared..' one answer conjugates apparaitre with etre:  'À cette époque, une variété de programmes télé sont apparus..' . I would have used 'avoir'. Ami I missing something  or am I just having a bad day?

Could "bivouaquer" be used to say set up camp?

Not really related to the lesson at hand, but in the example, isn’t besoin supposed to be followed by de?

Les chaussures dont tu as besoin sont dans le placard 

Hi I don't understand why "Tous les enfants partent mais aucun ne prend le train"  is correct but 

:Tous les enfants partent mais aucun d’entre eux ne prend le train" is not.   

THE LESSON SAYS: We can also express none of them using aucun d'entre eux ne ... / aucune d'entre elles ne ..., I understand "aucun d’entre eux/elles" is used with people and les enfants are people. Thanks.
