French language Q&A Forum

Thanks a lot, have to work a bit harder...

If On is used to say we as a group with which you're familiar with and are part of, does that mean saying it for other groups or just random groups of people means it becomes "One Or People" ? And do French speakers receive it as so ?

I am always getting this wrong and wonder if there is a simple way that people remember when to use encore/toujours for "still" - i.e. why is the correct answer for this exercise, "ils sont ENCORE jeunes" (they are still/again young) and not "ils sont TOUJOURS jeunes (they are still/always young) ? 

Hello! Can I ask why a student (étudiant) is count as a profession. I met this in one of the quizes and there was no article in front of it. Thank you in advance!

J'aurai sûrement un quart d'heure de retard

I will probably be fifteen minutes late

Je serai sûrement en retard d'un quart d'heure.

I will probably be fifteen minutes late.

Checking online at Larousse etc., I don't see that "sûrement" means "probably".  "Probably" introduces doubt.  Why not use "surely" or "certainly"?  

Or for the French, "probablement"?  Which does seem to mean "probably".

I don't see why this is plus que parfait.  This refers to an action completed in the past.   Seems to me "je te l'ai dit" would serve just as well or better.

I don't think there's any way one could know them unless they had already been taught to the learner. I found it a bit unfair, but I suppose the grading is subjective and as long as one learns something, who cares.

do these adverbs need to agree with the object's gender?
