French language Q&A Forum

Elsewhere on the site, there is an example sentence: Ils sucent encore leur pouce. They're still sucking their thumbs.  Why doesn't leur pouce become le/la/les pouce(s)?

Bonjour ,I had a doubt with the a question — Invites-tu quelqu’un ce soir?

What would be the expected answer in negative ?

One option given here for "my flowery dress" is "ma robe a fleuris."  Why not "ma robe fleuries"?

In the lesson, son,sa,ses have been referred to as possessive adjectives in one line, and possessive pronouns in the line immediately following. In general throughout the course they have been referred to as 'possessive adjectives' (as in French they are always followed by the noun modified, this would seem to be correct). 

Can we please have some examples of statements turning into questions in these cases? I am finding it hard to follow how the order of words changes in each situation. Many thanks!

Suggest translate the French expression with an English equivalent expression - eg 'first go' or 'first time' : "But, I managed first go/time" ? Using more formal English confuses the translation, especially when it is changed from the general 'first go' to the specific 'on my first attempt'.

I don't fish - but looking at Larousse and the Académie site, it seems 'les leurres' is more appropriate for "the lures, and "appat"  for bait. Les leurres gets a strikethrough currently, but is correct.
