French language Q&A Forum

On a quiz, the question was "Il est_________ (It's ten past three o'clock)(Hint use the 12 hour clock) " I wrote Il est quinze heures dix. The only accepted answer was "Il est trois heures dix". There was no indication that it was supposed to be AM. Can you please either arrange to have it accept both AM and PM or at least indicate that you specifically needed AM or PM in the question.

Thank you!

In this statement, the correct answer is to use c'est instead of il/elle. Why is that?

I think think that there should the mnemonic BRAG 
B - Beauty (joli,belle)
R - Rank (premire,deuxem)
A - Age (nouveau)
G - goodness ( bon, mouvais) 
S - Size (grand,petit)

I'm not saying that this is compulsory but it would be helpful for the ones who have no clue on the subject...even though I am in A0 I learnt it when my teacher told me so yeah..

Hi, 

From the quiz:

What are the ways to UNAMBIGUOUSLY say "It is three fifteen PM." ?

Il est quinze heures et quart. - was marked as a wrong answear and I really don't understand why...

the same boots - les même bottes. But I thought French usually had the word order "les bottes même" like the usual French 'noun adjective word order' and même would follow this pattern... mais non... is there an easy rule/way to remember for which words come before or after the noun? Merci

How does one conjugate a verb when this occurs? Do you conjugate the verb with its form with the subject or of the object?

is this correct
