French language Q&A Forum

I noted in another quiz that famous people (at Cannes) were either "célèbré" or "connu".  Would "fameuse" not work for them?  Thanks!

As a French major studying literature, it made sense to learn passé simple. But now, over 40 years later and speaking French as a tourist, I have no need for it. I’ve really enjoyed Lawless French until I got to level c and so many questions on passé simple! I’d rather learn helpful vocabulary and expressions/idioms than advanced verb conjugations.  Love, the site, but not passé simple!  

Just read all the other comments—glad I’m not the only one who’s not keen on passé simple. 

I thought when être was followed by a noun or pronoun the subject would be c’est, like c’est mon fils or c’est la mienne. Isn’t celui also a pronoun? Is it because il is also the subject of the verb manger?

The wording in the article implies that this rule only applies to plural nouns/adjectives, but the title does not state that. Could "plural" be added to the title as well to match?

Why is 'enchanté de vous rencontrer' a commonly used french expression not listed among the correct options for 'Pleased to meet you' ?

In the lesson it says:  In French, you use pour + [durée] only to express a duration in the future., however in Lawless French:

Pour and pendant can replace depuis only when the verb is in the past tense.

Hi,

Thanks!
