French language Q&A Forum

Why is it de l’argent which I thought meant some money. The lesson wrote: either money or a gift. So why was soit d’argent wrong? Thanks. 

The question: Conjugate connaître (to meet) in the passé composé.

The answer: I met Leila at University = J'ai connu Leila à la fac.

I thought connaître meant "to know" ? I can't find any references to it meaning "to meet".

I seem to be going backwards, losing confidence by the day with this lesson.  Very disappointed in the content and exercises.  This system of questions seems to be hurting me more than helping,

It’s like the rules change every time I read this lesson.

Regretting paying for a whole year.......

Is it necessary to use "toutes" in this sentence, or can one just say "...et soudain elles ont disparu?  Does it change the meaning somehow?

Hi All,

I dont quite understand the necessity of complicating life by using "a ce que" when we can simply use "que" with no losses in meaning. Is there really a difference?

Merci

I am a beginner who wants to learn how to speak french well. What do you think is the best way to start?
