Finding the adverbs I'm looking for adverbs in the following paragraph. I can't seem to find a single adverb. What am I missing? From its earliest inception, Hollywood cinema has been fascinated with the ancient world. Antiquity offered a natural vehicle to film makers, perhaps because stories of larger-than-life characters and events were generally familiar to cinemagoers. But Hollywood epics were not overly reverential towards the antique past, and directors ploughed through the history books with abandon, often shattering the fragments of factual information in favor of spectacle, eroticism, sensuality, weighty morality, or pure fantasy. The interaction between cinema (and popular culture generally) and historical representation is a growing field of scholarship. Scholars now question how historical films reflect the societies in which they were made, and speculate on how attitudes towards the past have been molded in the popular imagination by its depiction in movies.

Ind. rég Que signifie l'abréviation "ind. rég." ? J'ai cette question sur un formulaire d'inscription. Le formulaire est du Québec.

« Excusez-moi » et « s'il vous plait » en discours indirect Comment nous disons les impératifs « excusez-moi » et « s'il vous plait » en discours indirect ? Puis-je utiliser le verbe « prier » au lieu de « dire » pour remplacer « s'il vous plait » ? Pour exemple, je t'ai prié de m'aider. (Aidez-moi, s'il vous plait). Pourrait « je me suis excusé et je t'ai demandé où se trouvait la police » remplacer « Excusez-moi, où se trouve la police » ? Ou est-ce qu'on saute ces phrases? Quelles sont les meilleures façons de faire ces déclarations?

How to address an academic in a French letter How do we address persons with academic titles in formal letters? "Monsieur X," or "Madame X," seems like it might be disrespectful, but that might just be my anglophone thinking. For example, let's take two made-up people: a female person called Dr Deslauriers, who holds a PhD in Literature, and a male person called Prof Sorel, who is a professor of astrophysics at an elite university. How do we address them in letters? Does this sound right? Docteur Deslauriers, (even though the person is female) Professeur Sorel,How about "Madame le Docteur Deslauriers," or doesn't that make sense?

Imparfait vs passé composé I have been studying French for about two years now and I am still sometimes getting confused with this subject. Which of these statements is correct? Robert avait 16 ans quand il a vu la mer pour la première fois. Robert a eu 16 ans quand il a vu la mer pour la première fois. I understand that passé composé should be used with specific events, but this refers to the age of the person at the time of the event, not the event itself. So, in my opinion, this is descriptive. I know, for example, that this is correct: Yannik dormait, quand soudain le téléphone a sonné. It also refers to a specific event, but it happened while he was busy sleeping, which is ongoing. I saw on a French website that this is supposedly correct: Quand j'ai eu 8 ans, j'ai reçu un magnifique jeu de construction. However, that would mean that my second statement is correct. Yet, in my understanding, it's descriptive background information. I'm confused, can somebody explain what I'm missing here?

Is this sentence correct? I'm not sure whether this sentence is correct: Je fais aussi du crochet et fais les petits jouet en peluches. Can we use "et fais," or should it be "et je fais," or drop the second "fais" altogether​?
