I know the rule i before e except after c. What is\nthe rule for using el or le at the end of a word?\n(example: bundle, cradle, barrel)
130122
Words ending (before the el or le) in rr, v, nn get the el.  But as always there are exceptions:  bugle but bagel; tassel but hassle, rebel (noun) but treble etc.  Wonder why people can't spell?

No, you don't pronounce it in the word "et", I can assure you. French is my mother tongue and I speak it and write it very well. The word "et" is pronounced "ay". If you pronounce the "T", it may sound like the word "est", which mean "is".  In that case, you would be saying "A man IS a woman". But I don't think that's what you mean. ;)\n\nFor other french words ending by the letter "T", it depends. French is full of exceptions and rules... Most of the time you should pronounce it but it is accepted in common language to let it go.

Definite ariticles are used slightly differently in each language.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_%28grammar%29#Presence_in_various_languages\nhttp://home.bluemarble.net/~langmin/miniatures/definitart.htm\n\nHere are some "rules" and pointers about use of "the" in English:\n\nhttp://www.utoronto.ca/writing/l2the.html\nhttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/esl/eslart.html#definite\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_%28grammar%29#Usage\n\n\nAs for pronunciation, to correct a previous answer, "thee" (long e) is used not only before words beginning with a vowel, but when the speaker wants to STRESS the word.  ("On Friday nights this is THE place to be!" would pronounce "the" with a long e.)\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The#Use_and_pronunciation

It can have there few versions: \noperating more easily like with "l'intérêt pour lire" \nor even like "l'intérêt de lire" and "l'intérêt à lire" \nor "intérêt pour la lecture" - if you're searching for more general phrase, \nyou can say just "l'envie de lire" - quite common phrase.

i.e. stands for the Latin "id est," which means "that is." It is followed by an explanation. Not sure if you should use "i.e."? Replace it with "in other words" and see if your sentence retains the original meaning. If it does, "i.e." is the abbreviation for you, in that case. \n\n- That great American holiday, i.e., Thanksgiving, is almost upon us.\n\n- Enjoy your roast turkey, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and homemade gravy on November 23rd, i.e., Thanksgiving.

One is, as I am sure you know, the contraction for you are while the other shows possesive case. There, I wrote that for all the yahooites who might read this and do not have a clue about proper English. While I am not perfect myself, some of the spellings are simply too strange at times so it is little wonder that some are confused by the two words. It is a sad sign of the times I am afraid.

It's tabou to answer a question with a question so I must just STATE that I don't know what a whesite is even though I know you have trouble with the word 'website'. However, to give the devil his due - your misspelling  has a nice 'ring' to it if you pronounce it: whess-it-tay. No es verdad?

Here is a hint for the ones you have given us.  Anything that comes after his, her, my, their, or a word that ends with 's is a noun.  Anything that comes after is, are, become, turned into, was, etc. is an adjective.  This is the best that I can help you, as I am not 100% sure what you are talking about.

The sentence is correct.\nThe 'two vowel' rule is a rule of thumb for the beginning of French.  It's basically only the 'e' that disappears and then only on two letter words. (me, de, se,)  Que is the only three letter word (that I know) that elides (loses the e) and you lose the 'a' in la, ma, ta, sa...  In longer words (notre) or with other letters at the end (tu, stylo), you don't lose the vowel.

Hello. I am an English teacher for non-English speakers, in Europe.\nON / ONTO / UPON :  The book is on the table. (location).  I am placing the book upon (onto) the table (prepositions of motion).  Upon is also used when you don't mean a location or motion.  Once upon a time.... upon arriving, we saw the sign.\nHowever... in modern spoken English, "upon" isn't used very much. "placing it on the table" is also good.\nIN / INTO / WITHIN    the Tv is in the living room.  (a location).  Carry the TV into the livingroom. (preposition of motion).  Put the TV within view of all the chairs. (not outside of that distance, in the limits of all to see the TV).  Once again, spoken English is very flexible and you can usethe word "in" for all of these sentences.\nUNDER / UNDERNEATH     under the table (location)  put the carpet underneath. (meaning under the last thing mentioned) the ugly floor is hidden underneath. ( meaning at a lower level).\nIf you save the word "underneath" for the last word of the sentence, your English will often be correct.  Try NOT to use "under" as the last word.  "put the carpet under...  The table!"\nI hope this helps...good luck, Trevor.

He can't trust her anymore : il ne peut plus la croire\nHe could no longer trust her : il ne pouvait plus la croire\n\nIn French we would translate "anymore and no longer" by "plus" instead of using the regular "pas"\n\nDon't trust what google translation said. I just read the 2 translation 2 posts below mine and this ain't French. The words are not in the correct order. Sorry for the person who posted it.

Yes you can drop the le and la in particular cases. Le and La mean "the". You can drop Le and La when you are going to say things that don't involve the word "the". However, forming sentences is not as simple as just combining the two words by dropping the "le" or "la". If you want to you can email me jshepard@unity.edu and I can help you out. I've got 7 years of french classes under my belt.
