Why is it “Si ça ne te dérange pas” and not “déranges pas”?
It is really hard to hear exactly these words, spelling...=((
Hi forum,
What is the correct way of writing English "2,148.20". I thought the thousands separator in French is space, but have two correct answers "2.148,20" "2 148,20"?
About 'face the facts', is it also correct to translate it as ' faire face aux réalités'.
I think 'faire face à ' is a very common expression.
I was looking at the Lawless French article on inversion and saw that 'ainsi' may be followed by inverted word order. Does that mean that, as an alternative to 'Ainsi ma mère m'a raconté que', you could write 'Ainsi m'a raconté ma mère que...' ?
Why isn't it 'depouillement des votes'?
Not directly related to the question of when to use the subjunctive, but is it correct that you would say "c'est ennuyeux qu'il soit parti" but, on the other hand, "il est important qu'il soit parti"? If so why the difference?
Is it possible to just use the keyboard when navigating the site (especially when doing exercises, quizzes, etc...)? Of course, a mouse can always be used, but when you're trying to concentrate on the subject matter having to remove your hands from the keyboard and back all the time is just one extra thing to think about. It's pretty standard to use the tab key to move from item to item and the return key to execute (click) an item. But I notice that this only partially works on the site. For example, I can use tab to select an audio, but then I don't see how to play it (without the mouse). Maybe there's a secret shortcut, but I searched for keyboard and shortcut in the FAQ and Forum and couldn't find it. In any event, thanks for the great site -- trying to help you make it even better.
