Someone please help me with FRENCH homework?

[Kinkay]

Thank you sooo much! I am taking a French literature course (in French) and a French grammar course. I'm having a great deal of difficulty with my paper, and I got a 10/20 on the recent one. My prof said I can correct it for re-marking.

The words in italics are the ones I've corrected. are they correct?

L’amour est simplement la ruée s’éxacerbée des hormones par laquelle les certains stimuli externes créent. Quand, pour un homme, la testosterone, et pour une fille, l’estrogène, est déchargé en excès, la sensation n’est pas l’amour; c’est le désir, l’engouement. On est facilement rendu aveugle par des sensations, donc on ne peut pas penser logiquement. Quand je vois vos épaules fortes, votre chemise serrée qui s’éxhibe vos muscles protubérants, ça incite la ruée hormonale d’estrogène superflue qui crée l’illusion que je suis amoureuse de vous. Mais c’est seulement l’attraction sexuelle. Mes mots d’amour et mes actions chaleureuses sont employées à induire des sentiments forts et ils changent et s’adaptent selon la personne, la situation, et l’intention. Clairement, ils exploitent les vulnérabilités des gens. Mais c’est tellement facile. De plus, le pouvoir que je sens est vraiment enivrant.


This is one of the paragraphs. Thanks again for the help.

I dont speak french but I do rely heavily on this website

It translates into almost any language.

I took french in high school and college and I'm cracking UP! What a hilarious paragraph!!!

I see that this could be incorrect, as vraiment is used as an adkjective. Would it then not come after the predicate noun it was describing?

enivrant vraiment

je suis amoureuse de vous -->shouldn't it be avec/with? amoreuse avec vous

I took french in high school and could handle a conversation back in the day...but not anymore...sigh.

I read all this though and I think of Joey in Friends where Phoebe is trying to teach him french...lol

Thanks for the website! I'll check it out! I can't believe I'm in third year and I've never seen this!

I'm glad you enjoyed the paragraph, Cleo. Every paper I write in French class is about the non-existence of love and how people like me are destined to be alone. The prof has come to expect bitter papers from me, hehe.

A little more than two years ago, I was like Joey when he tried to learn French. Now, I'm just the disoriented Asian girl in a "Literature in French" class sitting among fluent French-Canadian citizens.

C'est la vie!

The site is good enough if you want to get the general idea of something in another language, but it makes a lot of grammatical mistakes.

How to generate Engrish using Babelfish:

1. Translate a paragraph to another language, preferably Japanese.
2. Translate back to English.

You'll see what I mean.

Ah, you're right. Glad I sorted that out before I hand in anything, hehe.
