    [quote=Kim_2320]How about this?

    example:
    Question: Quel temps fait-il ?
    - Il pleut.

    This time, I will need to write a question that corresponds with the given answer. There are 8 questions.

    1.) My response: Quel jour est-on ? or Quel jour sommes-nous ?
    Given answer: - Nous sommes mardi.

    2.) Qui est-ce ?
    - C'est le professeur d'histoire.

    3.) _ Quelles ville[color=red]s avez-vous visit
    De gustibus et coloribus non disputandum.

    Once again, it's 5 years since I took French Immersion, so I don't remember. The activity that I'm currently doing is more advanced than what the rest of the students in my class are doing. My teacher gave me this worksheet because she noticed that I'm ahead of the class and assumed that I'll be able to handle these kind of questions.
    In reality, that is not the case. I may be more advanced than my class, but I only know the basics! Do you know what I mean?


    And I am clueless as to what I should write as a question for the #2-6. Maybe you can give me the answers for questions #2 and #5, and explain it to me so that I can apply it to the remaining questions.

    I also posted these sentences on a Canadian forum yesterday, but I haven't received any replies yet. Can you verify if they are correct?

    I know what you mean and I would describe your situation as sitting at the same time on two chairs side by side and none of them is the right one for you.

    Here are the questions I would ask to match the given answers. If you don't really understand why I chose these sentences then let me know and I'll try to explain.

    I already corrected my sentences and I thought it was logical to use qu'elles rather than qu'ils when describing feminine articles of clothing. I forgot about it but thank you for reminding me. I'll remember it for the next time!

    For the questions #2-6, I don't understand it well and you don't need to explain it to me because I'm not going to focus on that area much. The rules are just too complex for me to learn in a short period of time. I don't use the language regularly so it's hard for me to catch up on it, but I've made the corrections though.
    Sentence #8, what are false imprints for you?
    Sentence #9, I googled it to see what you meant. I would call these "chassures souples sans talon" because I don't know much about fashion and since I no longer live in France I kinda lost track on how they call things over there.

    To me in this sentence "courant" has the meaning of common/ordinary and "populaire" would have the meaning of something more fashionable. Probably because I'm thinking of the leather outfit that bikers wear with the foam parts sewn in.

    By false imprints, I meant materials like fake leather, fake reptile prints.... on the clothing.

    I see, you're talking about imitations and the translation would be "produit contrefait" or "contrefa

    I am currently writing paragraphs for my 1940s Fashion collage. Can you please check them for me? I wrote the English version in paragraph just in case you don't know what I mean in the French version! Thank you very much.

    I directly translated from the English parts and if you have any questions to ask, please do. I kind of guessed sometimes since I can't see what all of this if about exactly.

    Hello Spiderkat!

    I got my teacher to correct my paragraphs today, but I've considered your corrections, which was different from what she had corrected.

    Thank you.

    Could you write some of it just for my own curiosity.
    Did your teacher just correct the sentences in French or did you also provide the English ones because this would explain the difference.

    Oh, I wrote my paragraph in French and had it organized on a poster board. I can't remember all the errors that she had corrected since I don't have my poster with me right now, but I do know that when my teacher corrected it, she told me that "early 1940s" in French, isn't "la d

    Actually none of them make sense and I don't think that's even French, at least not the French we speak or teach in France. We say either "au d

    In your sentence "relaxed hair" would be hair moving freely along the lower part of the head and the neck towards the shoulder, right?

    When talking about hair or fur as a natural color we say "roux/rousse" and not "rouge". But if you're talking about a dye applied to the hair and does look the color red then you may say "rouge".

    To form the plural you always add an S whatever the word is. Except for the nouns "bijou, caillou, chou, genou, hibou, joujou, pou" which end with an X. Also, the nouns ending "-al" end with an S in plurial except these ones "bail, corail,
