merci pour clarifying the 24 hour clock time.

what is the difference between "je voudrais" et "je veux"?
do you know any good websites that are either translators or like grammar helpers?

je voudrais means i would like

je veux means i want

a good one is bonpatron

merci cynthia!!

A bit more on those 2 verbs:

"je voudrais" is the Conditional and much more polite than "je veux" which is the Present Tense and more demanding!

Never use a translation site, because they can not get the "nuances" of the language. There are lots of grammar helpers. If you tell me what grammar specifically you would like, I'll be glad to explain things to you.

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help clarify the 24-hour clock for you.

Now, let's talk about the difference between "je voudrais" and "je veux" in French. In English, both phrases translate to "I want," but they are used in different contexts.

"Je voudrais" is the conditional form of the verb "vouloir," which means "to want." It is often used to make polite requests or ask for something in a more indirect or courteous manner. For example, if you're at a restaurant and want to order something, you would say "Je voudrais un café, s'il vous plaît" (I would like a coffee, please).

On the other hand, "je veux" is the present tense form of the verb "vouloir." It is more direct and straightforward, used to express a strong desire or want. For instance, if you're expressing a strong preference or stating what you want, you would say "Je veux une glace" (I want an ice cream).

As for websites that can help with translation and grammar in French, there are several reliable options available:

1. Google Translate (translate.google.com): This free online translation tool can translate text and even audio. However, it is important to double-check the translations, as they may not always be accurate.

2. WordReference (www.wordreference.com): It is a comprehensive online dictionary and language forum that provides translations, definitions, and explanations for words and phrases in several languages, including French. It also offers examples and forum discussions to help with context and usage.

3. Collins Dictionary (www.collinsdictionary.com): This website offers translations, definitions, and pronunciation guides for several languages, including French. It provides real-life examples and can also assist with grammar questions through comprehensive language resources.

Remember that while online resources can be useful, it's always a good idea to consult multiple sources and, if possible, seek feedback or guidance from a native speaker or language tutor to improve your skills.
