French language Q&A Forum

While expressing present continous tense or future simple with present tense in french, I realy get confused on when to use auxiliary etre with subject pronoun and when not to use 

Why is "il est vert" unacceptable for a translation of "It is green."?

Is "des belles choses" possible? (Or just wrong).

I answered incorrectly "au haricot vert", and was wondering if the difference is audible? Though perhaps this is something to know context rather than hear.

I am confused about when I can use duquel ,delaquelle etc instead of dont 

Je ne l'aime pas vs. Je n'aime pas ça 

Why are these not inter-changeable?  

Merci de clarifier! 😊

Can 'les gosses' be used here instead of 'les enfants' for 'the kids' ?

In the sentence, "Pour moi, le pire, c'est le fait que le gouvernement ait contourné le processus démocratique en empêchant l'Assemblée Nationale de voter pour ou contre cette loi.", why is the subjunctive used?  Is it simply a variation of "C'est important que..."?  I had not seen this usage before.  Thanks.
