French language Q&A Forum

The question:

Nous sommes partis _________ au cas où.

We left early  just in case.

I answered: "en avance juste"

....and was marked incorrect for adding the "juste".

Could someone please explain why my answer was wrong?

how do I get other stories.  I lost the one about the father who reassures his son about the monster under the bed.

« que je me souvienne... »

Il est évident que le verbe est au subjonctif, mais pour quelle raison ? Je ne le comprends pas.

Quelqu'un peut m'aider ?

Normally, I think of using the preposition "à " when referring to a city.  In this passage, they land in (à) Paris but they take the train to (pour) Florence.  I am guessing that Florence is not an exception as a city but rather one takes the train for or to a city using the preposition, pour, instead of à.  Is that correct?

I encountered this question in a quiz and got it wrong:

"Manon aime une autre personne." means:

Maybe I'm splitting hairs here, or the translation isn't quite literal in English, but the correct answer "Manon loves another person" seems to imply something different.  I read this as "Manon loves [a different] person."  To say that Manon loves another person implies to me that she may love more than one person.  For example, if I said "J'ai une autre voiture," am I saying I have 2 cars now, or that I have a different/new car?

however should it no be:

Rien n'est pas gratuit

Where is the pas?

Bonjour,

Can I use des longtemps as the duration with pendant, ie, je vais vivre en france pendant des longtemps? Or is longtemps not considered a specific time frame?

Merci :)
