French language Q&A Forum

Hi, just wanted to say that I think this is a very fun text and I loved listening to the audio, it's very authentic and sweet :)

All the examples of the use of "De peur que..." are followed the use of the "ne explitif+ the subjunctive"

"Il ne voulait pas te le dire de peur que tu n'aies raison" He didn't want to tell you out of fear that you'd be right"

I assume that when "De peur que..." is followed by a possible negative result, the subjunctive is still used:

"Il ne voulait pas te le dire de peur que tu ne sois pas surpris." He didn't want to tell you out of fear that you wouldn't be surprised.

(Apologies if there is a lesson on the use of "De peur que + the subjunctive", I don't see a link here and I didn't find one listed under lessons.)

As always,

Merci beaucoup,

Hilary

- rose (pink) of course !

I see the origins of fauve (a fawn), mauve (a mallow) and rose (the flower) - but what are the things that écarlate, incarnat and pourpre are named after? Aren't these last three just standard  colour names?

why does the voice change... it jumps scared me! also are the voices the same from doulingo

In the phrase 'Jules m'apprendra à faire du snowboard', I used 'enseignera' but this was not listed as an optional answer. Could you explain please? Thanks.

Would not "préparez un bol de bouillie be acceptable?

Why is this in the subjunctive?

Why here we cannot use neuf, it is a new bike so it has not been used.Futhermore it is not living things, neuf here sounds make sense.

Hi,

Can anyone please explain to me why my quizzes scores are stuck in a certain point even though I have taken the quizzes correctly?

Thank you,
