French language Q&A Forum

I want more  same questions to practice my vocabulary.

est-ce que l'Alliance Française est un organisme agréé pour attester le niveau de langue française?

can impersonal expressions like il est possible que, il est certain que etc become c'est possible , c'est certain que etc. C'est seems more logical here than il.

I believe six-heures de l'après-midi should be a good option alongside dix-huit heures?

I have just answered the question below incorrectly. My understanding was that the second part of the statement was conditional present but your answer below shows (I think) the imparfait of venir? What am I not getting? 

Could someone explain the function/meaning of “droit aux”, in contrast to the simpler “les” that presumably could have been used? From “qui a eu droit aux fameuses nausées matinales.”. Thanks

Richard noted the adjective ‘violet’ changes with gender and number, despite being named after a real thing.  Cécile answered the question.  It took me a while to comprehend the answer, so if you don't mind I will add some comments to help myself and anyone else who might have the same difficulty.  I think what Cécile is saying is the name of the flower is "violette", not violet; and because the original name of the colour is "violet", not violette, the two are not the same.  They look close, but they are not identical.  If the name of the flower en français was "violet", the story would be different.

s'assoir is having a blue 'e' correction added, although both spellings - s'asseoir and s'assoir - are correct.

I’m wondering how you express next/the next/last/the last for the four seasons? Was unable to find an example on the site.
