These are OK, even your very first one with the kids if we strain its meaning. But the one with "monter" is absolutely wrong. I can't find a rule myself though... You also have to consider that Feydeau's quote is old-fashioned.

Those are not valid French sentences to me. I can only think of "Il est venu le temps de..." as being similar and correct.

You mean when used alone like that, or in all contexts with them (not) appearing?

We got this one on the CBB now. -_-

I wonder how the Author of Arka would respond to this.

Nearly every French person I hear has a 'linking R' between vowels across words. For example, fuseau horaire is something like [fyzoʁ̞ɔʁɛeʁ̞]. what Same thing: what? I'm a native French speaker (as Legion) and I don't do this. Maybe it's only in my Canadian dialect (which allows much more hiatuses ...

That we left should impress Phoebe. A friend asked me how I would draw a syntax tree for this sentence and I'm stumped. Is that we left behaving as an NP here? It sounds like a vestige of English subjunctive to me: in French or Spanish, it would use it. Does this sound right? -> That I were here sh...

Anyway, the Dutch <u> is pronounced /y/, that's why they can't use it for /u/, am I right?

J'ai juste pas compris le néo. XD Ok, merci quand même.

Hey, c'est dommage que les avatars marchent pas, je dois m'arracher les yeux à lire les noms de tout le monde. :/

This time I kept myself calm and polite. I attacked neither of you. And you're turning my last line into a ridiculous one; I bet you haven't even read it, which is not nice. Ok. I don't mind. I'll apply it myself, and you can flame alone. Last words on all this. http://sfbimages.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-...

Lol, pas besoin Ah ? Je suis prêt à vous considerer aimables et amicaux, si vous le souhaitez bien. Quelle arrogance, on ne se fiche vraiment pas de ta considération.

(I wonder why people are hating on me here on ZBB with Americans, but everyone which are mostly Swede or English or Quebecker has never hated me on CBB for debating...) I thought you said you didn't need to practice your English...? Also: Go away. Bla bla bla... No? I just won't. Stop it, I don't h...

Anyway, I haven't called anything about him, lol, you and I can't tell anyone's level of maturity over the internet; this leads us to a tie. Let's go back to the main topic of this forum, ok? Languages. :3

You can bla bla if you want, I won't comment.

On CBB, we have a game where we choose a word (usually long), then we transform it the way we want using IPA. It's one of the most popular thread of the forum. Not only it practices a lot IPA writing, but it also showed me new ways to change sounds in a language/conlang to derive it into another one...

Next word: future

Hey, that's a cool game.

Yeah, where's the prob? (I wonder why people are hating on me here on ZBB with Americans, but everyone which are mostly Swede or English or Quebecker has never hated me on CBB for debating...)

Yo, I'm back and fuck you am surprised how after that long time you still have that in head. Stop, just stop, show some maturity, god...

French is too tough to be well spoken as a native do . Erm, to be honest, that's true of any language, English, Spanish, you name it. (The phrase I underlined for instance is wrong, though I can't think of any simple way to correct it (i.e. I'd word it in a different way, "to be learnt to a level y...
