Welcome to Gaia! ::

The easiest way would be to set your keyboard in "French Canadian" which is identical to English except it has the various accent and ç,ë etc.

when you have english keybord is with the code with «alt» like «alt1234» -> «Ê»
XxShigatsu can explain more and better about that

Hi, i'm doing a report on My family, how would you say "my great- grandma"? Would it be Ma grand-grand- mere?

Je veux nous voulons
Tu veux vous voulez
Il/elle veut ils veulent
vouloir is to want, for need it's conjugated avoir+besoin+de, I believe. for instance, I need an apple would be J'ai besoin d'une pomme

To answer your question, here's how to say it.

Once upon a time... = Il était une fois...

hum... Dur à expliquer. 'Parce que' est généralement utilisé pour donner une raison.
exemple: Je me suis fait à manger parce que j'avais faim.

'Puisque' est plus utilisé pour dire qu'à cause qu'il est arrivé quelque chose tu as fait quelque chose que ce que tu avais prévu.
exemple: Puisqu'il pleut, je reste à la maison aujourd'hui.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hum... it's hard to explain. 'Parce que' is like 'because', it is use to give a reason.
example: I cooked myself something because I was hungry.

'Puisque' is more or less like 'since', it is use more to say that something happen and altered was you had planned.
example: Since it's raining, I'm staying home today.

J'espère que cette explication va t'aider./I hope this explanation will help you.

Question *raises hand*

Today in my French class, we had to do some translating. I had to translate the phrase "You can be reassured; Big Brother has been watching you for years". This 'has been watching' immediately flagged up to me to use the imperfect tense, as he had been watching you for a period of time in the past. My teacher told me that in actual fact, I should be using the present tense.

I'm sorry, what? Why do I have to use the present tense? gonk
Please tell me that elle raconte des conneries. lol
