Learning a bit of French with not much time Oh no, that all straightened out. You guys were quite helpful in the end. It was strictly a question of applicability. Anyway, with regard to your question, I think the amount of French that could be learned in such a limited time would be of such little use that the learner would be better served studying a few tourist maps instead-- something where the rate of Useful Knowledge per Minute is much, much higher, as opposed to starting and then immediately dropping a new language. |

Learning a bit of French with not much time Hey Andrew! I remember you from JL&U before I decided to switch to Mandarin owing to comparably greater applicability/usefulness in the U.S. |

Infinitive or present participle in a sentence's object Yeah, this is a really excellent answer. Props. I was expecting to struggle with this one and you really elucidated it. |

Can weather expressions and other impersonal expressions be inverted? Would Est-ce qu'il pleut? sound sufficiently unnatural that it could in of itself alert someone that I was not a native speaker? |

Imparfait vs. passé composé for devoir? Let me know if my edit is accurate, you made a misleading typo. The answer makes more sense now but could still use a little expansion. Is the difference that straightforward: past perfective means they actually did what they had to do, whereas imparfait leaves the conclusion uncertain? |

Imparfait vs. passé composé for devoir? Haha sorry Evpok this didn't help me at all. You gave me sentences using each in French, but since there's no translation, I don't understand the difference between those sentences. They seem the same to me. "He had to leave for Rome and his wife wanted to come." "He had to leave for Rome immediately." |
