I don't understand this...

Quelles sont les raisons pour lesquelles les enfants quittent la maison lorsqu'ils sont plus âges?

heres my shot at it...

What are the reasons pour which the kids leave the house which they are older?

Here's another one..

Pourquoi y a-t-il de plus d'enfants qui sont élevés par des parents vivant en union libre?

Here's what i think...

Why is there more of kids who are raised by the parents live in union free? (I know i definitely got this one wrong... i have no idea at all...)

Please help me guys! Thnx

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Here is what you are looking at in French:

1. What the reasons for which the children leave the house when they are older?

2. Why are there more children who are raised by parents living in a common-law marriage. (that's what "free union" means here)

If you have a good English--->French/French--->English dictionary, this kind of exercise will be much easier.

what does common law marriage mean?

Sorry, I nearly missed this. When you meet a term you don't understand, be sure to use a good dictionary:

Main Entry: common-law marriage
Function: noun
Date: 1900
1 : a marriage recognized in some jurisdictions and based on the parties' agreement to consider themselves married and sometimes also on their cohabitation
2 : the cohabitation of a couple even when it does not constitute a legal marriage

I need help with my french homework!!!

For the first question, "Quelles sont les raisons pour lesquelles les enfants quittent la maison lorsqu'ils sont plus âgés?" or "What are the reasons for which kids leave the house when they are older?", you can find the answer by analyzing common life situations. Some possible reasons could include pursuing higher education, starting a career, getting married, or simply wanting to live independently. These are general reasons, and individual circumstances may vary.

To answer the second question, "Pourquoi y a-t-il de plus d'enfants qui sont élevés par des parents vivant en union libre?" or "Why are there more children being raised by parents in unmarried relationships?", we can look at social trends and cultural shifts. Research indicates that societal attitudes towards marriage have changed, and cohabitation is increasingly seen as an acceptable choice for raising children. Economic factors, personal preferences, and changing family structures also contribute to this phenomenon.

When faced with questions you don't understand in a different language, it can be helpful to use translation tools like Google Translate or consult language dictionaries. In this case, a translated word-by-word approach may not yield a coherent meaning, so it's advisable to understand the context and structure of the sentence to get a better grasp of the question.
