Two phrases: 

Je pense au match de football de la semaine prochaine. 

Je pense à mon mariage le mois prochain. 

Question: why preposition "de" is in front of "la semaine", but it is not in front of "le mois"?

Qu'est-ce qu'une galatte

Fish which Japanese people love (raffoler de) are becoming extinct.

Les poissons dont les japonais raffolent de sont en voie de disparition.

Why is the sont conjugated as well, I thought two verbs couldn't follow each other in conjugated form. I though that one needed to be in infinif form. 

Why is "celle" the correct answer  to this

 "J'aime ta robe mais je préfère ________ que Laura porte," 

rather than "laquelle"?

Aren't they both pronouns identifying one among others?

For this to be correct, doesn’t the subject have to be female? I answered that only “Tu as apparu comme un ange” was the only correct answer because I couldn’t assume that the sub just was female

We were asked to translate "around the globe."  The answer was given as "du monde entier."  Why not "autour du globe"?

Bonjour,

According to the following cases, there are some cases in which there is "no agreement with the subject" (either the agreement is with the object or there is no agreement at all):

- If DOC before verb, then agreement with DOC (les doigts qu'elle s'est brûlés);

- If DOC after verb, then no agreement (elle s'est brûlé les doigts);

- If body parts are with à, then no DOC, then agreement with subject (il s'est brûlé aux doigts; elle s'est brûlée aux doigts; ils se sont brûlés aux doigts; elles se sont brûlées aux doigts)

Am I correct or I am missing sth? Thank you very much.

What is the correct order to ask questions in French?

I mean, can we put all of the words of interrogation like (quand qui que) in different places like we do with ou` and the different places can we put the subject and the verb?

for example : ou`te es ?_ou` es tu? - tu es ou`?

I am using an iPad and for some reason I can hardly ever get the arrow for the voice recording to play twice. I would really like the option of being able to listen to the recording once, then write what I think I hear, then play the recording one more time to check what I’ve written. Is this a problem only with iPads or are other people having the same challenge? Thanks. 

I'm a bit confused by the meaning of this sentence (the temporality). If it refers to a one time thing (not a habit) then is it referring to future actions ? i.e. is it an equivalent of "I will make the bed once you have gotten up ?"  Or does it mean that I am right now doing the bed but I have started some time in the past after you have already gotten out of bed ?
