French language Q&A Forum

Hello,

When working with negation what is the easiest way to remember when to keep the indefinite article and not the definite article?

Example: can we do like I do not like meat nor fish since you can have some of the meat and some of the fish they would not keep the indefinite article correct?

Thanks

Nicole

*Eux* seuls sont venus - why this is correct and not - Ils seuls sont venus 

You hinted I should use ‘he would study’. I used ‘il étudierait’ but you translated: il allait étudier. Why?

I understand the lesson pretty well, but a question on pronunciation. Is the audio correct when it pronounces the sentence "J'attends plus de mes parents" with "plus" as [plu] instead of [plus]? It seems like this could be confusing in spoken French, in that it might be mistaken for "Je [n']attends plus de mes parents," but maybe the "de" makes it obvious that this is not a ne...plus construction where the "ne" is simply dropped/implied? (Maybe there's a lesson focusing on the pronunciation of "plus," but I've not seen it yet.)

en ce moment, il neige dans ma petite ville et une croisière sur la Seine, en été, semble très agréable. 

Hi, one of the text options is “La ville ne sera seulement à quelque pas de la plage”. Should the “ne” be there, or has it been inserted incorrectly?

What accent does Simon have? I thought his “enchanté” and “française” sounded like “ench-in-té” and “fr-in-çaise”, and his “viens” sounded like “viennent”. 

I thought plural countries were aux so should it be 'aux Pays De Galles' instead of 'au Pays De Galles' or does Pays De Galles count as singular since it means Wales.

Instead of "on doit se faire plasir" could one say "on doit se soigner"?

Instead of "dans la rue" could one say "le long de la rue"?

Instead of "nous irons voir la fanfare en famille" could one say "nous irons en famille voir la fanfare" (I can find several instances of "irons en famille voir" in a Google search).?
