French language Q&A Forum

I had to resort to my dictionary as this was not clear which type of mould was meant.

A shape as opposed to a fungus as in going mouldy.

hi room, experts

Please explain translation 'And although the majority among us thought they had no ideas' - ''Et bien que la majorité d'entre nous pense n'avoir aucune idée',

Two aspect are confusing me about this translation: 

1) Why is the French written in present tense whereas the english is in the past

2) What happened to the translation of  'They'? in the French translation I cannot see that the word 'They' has been translated?

Hello. My very first question on the forum.  In fact I have a question on the use of "des" rather than marcher, but the guidance on the question led me here.  I am not clear why it is not "les" danseurs being a generic dancer?  Probably some grammar rule that I have missed along the way, but if someone could point me in the right direction I will do my homework!

And this lesson is mentioned as "explain this". Whilst the lesson really explains usage of le / la, in this case it does not make any sense because I previous lessons did not have either of those four words, so a student just doesn't know what those words mean.

hi room, experts: 

Please explain why sentence, 'And it was with stars in my eyes that I came out of that magical place!' translates as,  Et c'est avec des étoiles plein les yeux que je suis sortie de ce lieu magique

My question refers to the usage of the word, 'pleins'. I am wondering if 'pleins' is being used as a preposition here in the same way that 'dans' is, and if so can it be used as an alternative in other case too.

Please clarify, Thanks

For the sentence “And afterwards, I would finally propose to her”, there are two answers:

Et après, je lui demanderais enfin de m’épouser/ Et après, je la demanderais enfin en marriage.

Why is the indirect object for the verb “demander”  used in the first sentence and the direct object for the verb “demander” used in the second?

Example:je décide de pratiquer in English I decide to practice and I try to attend in French j’essaye d’assister. Why to remplace by ‘de’ ????

Génial! À propos, on dirait ‘le côté clair de la forcé’ pour the light side of the forcé, or ‘le côté lumineux’? Aussi, comment dit-on ‘mat the forcé be with you’; ‘à toi soit la Force’? 

I tried using blesser to see if the system would accept this alternative and was marked wrong. Tell me why J’ai blessé Olive (yesterday when I stepped on her foot) is wrong. I like blesser because it’s easier to use, but not if it’s wrong! Thanks so much.
