Infinitive vs être en train de In practically all of my French learning content, whether it be videos, books, classes, software etc,  almost every resource says that The conjugation of the verb in the present means that someone or some thing either does that action under certain circumstances or is currently doing that action, for example: Je mange I eat I am eating However, I was recently introduced to the expression être en train de + infinitive, to note that the action is currently taking place. So my question is, should I by default consider Je mange. To mean that I eat and use “Je suis en train de manger” when still in the process of eating?

French practice sentences - practicing use of venir de + infinitive, some passé composé, and others Je vais manger avec mes copains. Je suis en train de manger Je viens de manger, et je vais aller au cinema pour regarder un film. J'ai trouvé ma montre. C'était sur la table. Je vais à la bibliothèque pour rendre un livre. Je suis en train de render un livre. J'ai rendu le livre hier. Je suis en train de lire un livre sur l'histoire Hier, j'ai lu un livre sur le football. Demain, je vais lire ce livre sur la musique. Il est en train de parler avec son professeur. Elle est en train de parler avec son médecin J'attends pour le train. Je dois étudier pour mon examen mardi Je suis en train d'étudier.

faire vs jouer Hi all, When talking about someone playing a sport, an instrument, or other type of hobby that you can "play", I was always taught in school to use jouer. More recently, as I watch more advanced videos, the teacher will use faire instead of jouer, and have heard that either is correct. Since I am learning to become as fluent as I can, is there one that is more used in everyday speech, or should I learn to listen for either verb in normal conversation? Also, If someone happens to play a sport or does some type of hobby for a living, would that change which verb you should use, or would faire and jouer be as equally interchangeable? Merci!

Different ways of asking the same question in Chinese? Hi all. Just started learning Chinese on my own a few days ago. The resource I am currently using is showing two ways to ask a question. The first way is by adding ma at the end The sentence. The next section, they are inserting the word bù behind the verb, followed by the same verb, like so:

Zhè shì niú ma? Is this a cow?

Zhè shì bù shì niú? Is this a cow?

The section where they use examples of the second sentence is called “affirmative and negative’s“. Any clarification on both uses, if one is more correct or if they’re interchangeable, would be a great help! Thanks in advance

Using prêt Hi all. I have a basic understanding of using prêt, but have really never used it in my practices. I have a few questions, mostly about the use of verbs. Je pense qu'il est prêt. I know there is a feminine form of prêt (prête), so if I wanted to say that I think that she is ready, would I say: Je pense qu'elle est prête. ? My main question is, how would I use prêt with a verb? I've seen a few examples online where "à + infinitive" is used. *the following are my examples so please correct me* I am ready to leave now. - Je suis prêt à partir maintenant. I am ready to sing. - Je suis prêt à chanter. how about if I wanted to say: Are you ready to go? *Es-tu prêt à aller* Is this correct? Merci!

Spring is here Good morning group! Spring is here and the weather is beautiful today. I hope everyone has a great day today, or had a great day if it is evening where you are.

I'm looking for exchange partners and friends who can help me with Spanish and French, but I would like to learn other languages as well.

Take care.
