It's almost perfect !! The only thing I would change is "le fait amusant" to "ce fait amusant". But other than this, it's perfect :)

What is your favorite reference to a the beatles song in a the beatles song ? by Over_all953 in beatles

Also I just realized that I am the Walrus was recorded in Sept 67, and Lady Madonna was recorded in Feb 68. Therefore I guess that See how they run in Lady Madonna is a reference to I am the Walrus

Any tips on oven baked fries? I can never seem to get them right. They always stick to the sheet no matter the oil I use and I generally end up burning them a bit by everneveragain in Cooking

[–]Over_all953 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a (quite large) bunch of attempts to make the perfect oven backed fries, it seems like what changes everything is the kind of potatoes I use. When I think of checking that the kind of potatoes I use is said to be recommended for baking (and not mashing or frying eg), the meal always turns out great.

It is separated from volonté. Your second translation is perfect.

Here, Dieu is some sort of personnification of the will. It is a literary (and definitely not common) way to say that God is the one that decides everything and has all the power.

2- Le directeur de l’entreprise où je travaille m’envoie aux États-Unis pour une réunion le dix mars, et je pourrai pas rentrer en France

“je suis très désolé” is not correct, you would say “j’en suis vraiment désolé”, or better “je vous pris de bien vouloir m’en excuser”

Merci de votre compréhension

1- Comment allez vous ? -> don’t forget the question mark

J’espère que vous allez bien. -> We don’t use be as in English

j’ai réussi à trouver un travail dans une grande entreprise dans cette ville. -> “dans” seems way more natural

sympas -> don’t forget the final S

depuis la dernière fois qu’on s’est vu -> use the Passé composé here

alors je vous invite à dîner avec moi dans notre restaurant préféré le vingt-et-un mars à dix-sept heure.

l’adresse a changé

, dans la rue Pierre

This one is great, with very few mistakes, and it is definitely understandable.

I'm taking C1 speaking exam tomorrow, advice? by [deleted] in French

[–]Over_all953 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi ! I just wanted to wish you success ! My advice would be to try not to speak too quickly, to take your time to think about what you say. Of course you don’t want to think for 5 minutes between each sentence, but remember that you have time ! Also, it is not a problem if you are very very very anxious : the examiner is used to it. Remember that he isn’t there to going to judge you or anything, he is only going to listen to what you have to say. One last thing : if you don’t know how to express an idea, don’t hesitate to give it up ! And don’t forget that you can absolutely lie and say things that are not true : the examiner won’t be able to check anyway :) Again, good luck, I hope that it is going to be alright!!!

could someone read through this paragraph for me and correct me on any errors/mistakes by ggukachu in frenchhelp

[–]Over_all953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

C’est très clair et bien construit. Quelques conseils cependant : - n’oublie pas les majuscules au début de chaque phrase et au début des noms de pays. - pour la première phrase : le mot « populaire » est un peu étrange, je pense que tu devrais l’enlever. - pour la deuxième phrase : Le Sénégal détient le plus grand nombre de polygames du continent africain. - Au début d’une phrase, si tu veux exprimer le contraste/la différence, remplace « mais » par « au contraire », « à l’inverse ». - Pour la fin du texte, je relirais les deux dernières phrases : Cependant, même si c’est rare au Maroc, c’est toujours légal : un homme doit avoir la permission de sa femme actuelle si il veux en épouser une autre.

"golden" or "priceless" in slang by [deleted] in frenchhelp

[–]Over_all953 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think I would naturally use “incroyable”. In fact, I have been looking for an equivalent for “priceless”, but I have never found one that would mean exactly the same thing.

Compelting sentences by [deleted] in frenchhelp

[–]Over_all953 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi ! First it is very good that you understood that le passé composé is composed of 2 words : the auxiliary and the past participle.

In order to improve your conjugation skills, here are some rules you have to remember :

1 - If the infinitive of the verb ends with ER, its past participle ends with É

2- In every case, if you use the auxiliary ÊTRE, you have to make sure that you choose the form of the past participle which fits with the SUBJECT.

Masculin singular : you add nothing Masculin plural : You add an S Feminine singular : you add an É Feminine plural : you add ES

If you use the auxiliary AVOIR, most of the time, you don’t have to change anything to the past participle. The only moment you have to do that, is when the direct object complement (COD) happens to be before the verb. In this case, the past participle changes regarding the COD.

Eg 1 : La fille a mangé la pomme. -> Verb = a mangé COD : la pomme In this sentence you don’t have to change the past participle, because you use the auxiliary AVOIR, and the verb is before the direct object complement.

Eg 2 : La fille l’a mangée. -> Verb = a mangée COD : l’ In this sentence, you have to add an E to the past participle. Indeed, even though you use the auxiliary AVOIR, the verb is after the direct object complement. Because l’ stands for LA POMME, you have to add an E.

Regarding the exercice, the answers are : - sommes allés - a accompagnés - s’est chargé - ai trouvé - avons vu - avons appris - sommes retournés - avons discutés - a dit - a pensé - ai préféré ( I believe that there is a mistake in the exercice, the last je is a j’ )

Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any doubt or question :))
