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.

there are three ways to ask questions: intonation, est-ce que (what you attempted), and inversion (duolingo's answer)
the thing is duolingo only gives you one answer and doesn't explain your mistake, so it doesn't really help improving
your mistake is that when asking a question using "est-ce que", the latter goes after any interrogative adverb like pourquoi/comment/où/quant/etc
so "où est-ce que"

And yeah, without discord and other resources, Duo would be a bad learning tool

# tardy raft Makes perfect sense thank you

You can think of 'est-ce que' as 'is it that' in English, they translate pretty well.

Où est-ce qu'il est allé ?
Where is it that he went?

Est-ce qu'il va bien ?
Is it that he's doing alright -> Is he doing alright?

Thanks - I’m at a stage where I’m picking up all information so incorrect stuff easily throws me off 😅
