French language Q&A Forum

Okay, don't laugh, but why would chercher take a direct object pronoun? For example, why is it "il les cherche" and not "il leur cherche".

Merci !

I have spoken to several French natives regarding this issue...their age~ 35yo

1. They use 'suivre' for "taking a French course...Je suis un cours de français and never 'prendre' for a full course. But!! I was told that if you are referring to a specific class you can say: "Je prend une classe de français aujourd'hui"

2. For "I passed my bac"... I was thought to use 'Reussir'..J'ai réussi mon bac...They said 'Avoir' is used more commonly now.

I suspect that the common usage will vary as vary with regions of the country,as it does everywhere

In the sentence "Fiona est la fille que nous avons invitée" - Can it also be translated that Fiona is the girl who invited us (nous as us)?

Please help

I am confused about the position of adverbs because the video says they go right after the verb they are modifying but when I answered the mini quiz in that way I got 0/2

Any thoughts?

Hi,

I'm curious of how to distinguish "Ils les leur envoient." and "Il les leur envoie" while listening? They sound same in pronunciation.

in the quiz, you say " qu'est-ce que c'est QUE Sacré Coeur."

In the lesson, you say "qu'est-ce que c'est un stylo." 

Is the third "que" optional?

I knew the answer to one of your test questions but because your application only offered three answers (and didn’t include the fourth correct one which was “sera” by the way) in the multiple choice options...well, obviously it didn’t grade me properly. This has happened before but I never complained. But could you look into it? Just check my most recent test (Être - Future Tense). Thanks. Valerie Oblath

If I understand the example in the lesson and these comments correctly, the answer should actually be "Il était une fois, un roi qui vivait dans son château."
