I'm not sure how this is supposed to work. Am I supposed to try and read aloud along with it or just listen to it? And somehow, if I hit the pause button in not exactly the same place, I get 2 voices reading at the same time. And it doesn't rewind? I just have to listen straight through?
Is it correct? "J'ai faim parce que je ne mange pas le déjeuner"
Do you have any lessons or notes on why the [nombre] occurs after les années.
Ex- "Vous étaiez étudiants dans les années quatre-vingt."
Bonjour! I have not studied For over 20 years, and I'm trying to learn the things that I have forgotten, as well as to expand my ability. Could you please answer my question about inverting the subject and the verb when asking questions? I was taught that one would say "Faites-vous vos devoirs?" Or "Fais-tu tes devoirs?" When asking questions. Even asking someone their name I've always known that to be Comment vous appelez-vous? In the formal and Comment t'appelles-tu? In the familiar. Why is this method not followed here in the studies? It has me very confused about what I've learned in highschool and I feel like I'm learning a totally different language. Thank you for letting me ask this question here. I don't know where else to ask it.
Hi, I don’t understand why one of the options is right or wrong. Too many choices make this a difficult lesson.
As you can see, in such cases, tout becomes toute in front of feminine adjectives, but only when they start with a consonant or an aspirated h.
But in the above examples tout did not become toute...what am I missing....???
The answer to this question:' Les femmes travaillent: ________ lavent et les autres cuisinen' is 'les unes'. I wrote 'certaines d'entre elles' which was marked wrong. Is it wrong because it's not what is being taught, or is it wrong because 'les autres' always follows ';les unes' and only 'les unes'? I find that hard to imagine.
Just thought I mention in case some US members are confused: Most Americans say "being/standing in line," but most New Yorkers (and some others on the US East Coast) say "being/standing on line" and only some Americans (those familiar with British English from television, movies or traveling!) would understand "the queue." So thanks for "translating" the phrase "the queue" for us Americans.

Tu étais en retard ce matin!
Hello!
Why use PC in the first sentence and then IMP in the second? Why were these tenses used?
I know that me changes to moi, te changes to toi, what about se? Does it become soi?
Eg: tu m'assieds --> assieds-moi
Tu s'assieds --> assieds-soi??
