Phew that's a relief and would you say your french is c'est la merde 😎

If e on the end it's femine? I could have written all sorts of gloop. Been 19 ish years since my last french lesson
Better after correction!
There are few fixed rules about gender and some are slightly complex, as a VERY general rule an e on the end does indicate likelihood of it's being feminine. But any word with a final e that comes from a verb, e.g. "Garage" which comes from the verb "garer" "to park. " will be masculine. Words ending in -tion or -sion are feminine,
I could bore you further, but I am boring myself. TBH rmemebering genders is a pain and even the frogs get em wrong, better to learn the word together with an adjective so the sound tells you which it is. e.g. "chemin vert" but "route verte", both of which have similar meanings, but the vert/e tells you which is M and which is F.

I get the feeling you would quietly like to be able to speak it more fluently.
Don't blame you, that was the only reason I went for a Psych degee with French as a subsid.
Hence why I could then make French my major. ;)
 
I've heard that they control it betterer though. But I might have heard it wrong.
I sometimes do!!
I have heard the same. They trap water and seem to know how much of a flow to let through, to keep the river level good at all stages. That means extra land stays wet up stream. But not sure that would solve the problem of sudden bursts of heavy rain as it would just push through.

I'd love to speak it more yes also with my Gaelic and German. I was good with languages when I was younger.
