Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Hi, what are you having difficulties with exactly?

[toxic dove]

i just started learning french and im trying to understand when to use à, de, and par for the verb commencer

[burnt depot]

It's going to depend on what you mean, unfortunately. I suggest you look up commencer here. It's a bilingual dictionary, gives you the translations.

Prepositions have their own logic and they're not transferable among languages, so you really just have to learn by heart

[toxic dove]

oh okay thank you

Do you have a big heart BertieBear is that how you're so good at this damned language
