French language Q&A Forum

Hello,
How do you determine when "prochain/e" goes before vs after the noun? I remember reading in one lesson that it goes after the noun (for example, "le weekend prochain" or  "l'hiver prochain") but in this exercise it goes before the noun "les prochaines vacances."

Please how do I access the lesson links listed, because each time I tap on it, it Alway bring's out system error.

Is there a complete list of words like: des bals([dancing] balls),
des carnavals,
des festivals,
des récitals,..?

I can't find it on your site.

Thanks in advance, Jaap.

In the test, I got the following question

"Elle a mangé tout le gâteau !" means:

- She is eating all the cake!

- She ate all the cake!

- She is going to eat all the cake!

- She has eaten all the cake!

- She had eaten eat all the cake!

Could you please explain why we you believe 'she has eaten all the cake' is correct but not 'she had eaten all the cake'? How would we say she had eaten all the cake in French and why is this not passé composé?

Please clarify why the past subjunctive is used in the phrase Mais cette année, tout ça devra attendre que j'aie fini de passer mes examens 

Thank you 

Are there more lessons about this pronoun ? I am asking here because Google is being less than useful

In the translation of "... or by starting a new fulfilling hobby.", I chose 'gratifiant’ for ’fulfilling’.  It was not accepted.   Was it overlooked or is there some distinction that I don’t understand ?  Thanks, in advance.  BTW, I thought this exercise was easier than the B1 Giving up Smoking.

Why is it wrong to use se tremper as well as avoir tort?
