French language Q&A Forum

In the test, I got the following question

"Elle a mangé tout le gâteau !" means:

- She is eating all the cake!

- She ate all the cake!

- She is going to eat all the cake!

- She has eaten all the cake!

- She had eaten eat all the cake!

Could you please explain why we you believe 'she has eaten all the cake' is correct but not 'she had eaten all the cake'? How would we say she had eaten all the cake in French and why is this not passé composé?

Please clarify why the past subjunctive is used in the phrase Mais cette année, tout ça devra attendre que j'aie fini de passer mes examens 

Thank you 

Are there more lessons about this pronoun ? I am asking here because Google is being less than useful

In the translation of "... or by starting a new fulfilling hobby.", I chose 'gratifiant’ for ’fulfilling’.  It was not accepted.   Was it overlooked or is there some distinction that I don’t understand ?  Thanks, in advance.  BTW, I thought this exercise was easier than the B1 Giving up Smoking.

Why is it wrong to use se tremper as well as avoir tort?

"When I have some money" is translated into "de l'argent". Why is it not "Des argents" or simply "l'argent"?

I was marked wrong for soyez parti (singular). Couldn't the "vous" refer to a singular person where past participle would be parti without an s?   What am I not seeing here? 

Hi, do you have a lesson/primer on the various accent marks used over letters, including how they are pronounced and when to use them? I have tried several searches on the site and cannot find it. 

I find this topic confusing, and it trips me up in the lessons.

Thanks, Larissa

Why are there 9 different types of past tense? NINE?! 🤯 Will even a native speaker really use all those? I give up lol
