French language Q&A Forum

Does the placement of 'Du tout' affect the overall meaning of the sentence? Could it be placed in different places to give the sentence different meanings? Are there any rules of where (before or after what) we are allowed to place 'du tout' ? How does the placement of 'du tout' change when there are prepositions within the sentence ?

I look in the examples, and see 'du tout' placed after adjectives and nouns, does that negate other parts of the sentence?

In the Baseball translating exercise, I used ainsi to translate "so"  --  not mentioned / accepted

In the bottom half of the quick lesson it says:

"- the more elegant 

Did you leave out 'cela' between 'Comment' and 'se fait-il'?

I  believe the explanation in the Q&A for using the present tense in place of a conjugated verb should be part of the main lesson as opposed to surfacing in the Q&A as it is an important exception to the general grammar rule and subject of the lesson.

In English, "I have nothing more to say to you" has a slightly different meaning to "I have nothing to say to you any more" - I guess because the second stresses you’re not going to speak again and the first that you’ve nothing left to say. Is there a way to make the distinction in French ?

I’d be interested to get a feel for how often inversion is used in everyday speech and the register of the examples below, from further down the thread. Presumably the one with quand at the end is the least formal? 

Quand Juliette et Pauline ont-elles déménagé ?

Juliette et Pauline, quand ont-elles déménagé ?

Juliette et Pauline, elles ont déménagé quand ?

Hello, I am not a French speaker, but we have a relative named Lauréa. In French, would this be pronounced loh-RAY-ah, or loh-ray-AH, or some other way? Thanks!

Hello,

The lesson states the possessive adjectives son, sa or ses should be used with il faut, and notre/nos / votre/vos are never used. 

In the quiz, "Il faut faire nos valises immédiatement." was listed as a correct answer to the question "How could you say "We must pack immediately." ?".

Shouldn't it be "Il faut faire ses valises immédiatement"?
