En anglais nous disons "gesundheit" ou "bless you" quand vous éternuez.

Comment dites-vous "bless you" en français?

Il paraît qu'ils se débarrassent des serrures d'amour au Pont des Arts à Paris.
Pensez-vous qu'ils devraient rester ou partir?
Est-il vrai que les gens sont plutôt placent amour serrures à la Tour Eiffel?

People ask me why I am learning French...

What is your reason?

Here is my response:

France has taught many lessons to other nations: surely one of the most important lessons is the lesson her whole history teaches, that a high artistic and literary development is compatible with notable leadership in arms and statecraft. The brilliant gallantry of the French soldier has for many centuries been proverbial; and during these same centuries at every court in Europe the "freemasons of fashion: have treated the French tongue as their common speech; while every artist and man of letters, and every man of science able to appreciate that marvelous instrument of precision, French prose, had turned toward France for aid and inspiration. How long the leadership in arms and letters has lasted is curiously illustrated by the fact that the earliest masterpiece in a modern tongue is the splendid French epic which tells of Roland's doom and the vengeance of Charlemange when the lords of the Frankish hosts where stricken at Roncesvalles. Let those who have, keep, let those who have not, strive to attain, a high standard of cultivation and scholarship.

I see the word été often in French when the meaning is obviously not summer. Is it a conjugated verb form or something?
