Answer 1

^^^^^(the guy ontop) Im pretty sure your not suppose to add etre to those verbs also Its not Ma Pere the My goes with the Pere making it Masculine

1. vous jouez le football american (accent aigu on the E in american)
2. Je mange les frites
3. Mon Pere regarde un match de football american (accent grave on the first "E" in pere)
4. Vous Visitez un ami
5. No it means he is at the office
6. Vous voyez l'art moderne

Answer 2

1. Tu joues au football./Vous jouez au football.*
2. Je mange des frites. [In France, they'll sometimes say, "pommes frites."]
3. Mon père regarde un match de football.
4. Nous rendons visite à un ami./Nous sommes en visite chez un ami. [If the friend is a girl or a woman: une amie.]
5. [Mr. Lebrun is at the office.]
6. Vous regardez de l'art moderne./Vous voyez ici un exemple d'art moderne.

A few remarks about "football":
- If you mean the game involving eleven players per team and a round ball, it is called "football" in French (or "foot" in informal usage). The Americans call this game "soccer."
- If you mean the game involving fifteen players per team and an oval ball, it is called "rugby" in French.
- "Football américain" is a violent form of rugby played in the United States, where players wear helmets and heavy protective equipment.

Other people here have suggested translating these sentences with "en train de." In my opinion, they are being much too literal. The phrase "en train de" does indeed indicate that an action is taking place as we speak (il est en train de travailler = il travaille en ce moment => he is working). But it is also meant to stress the durative aspect of a verb. It is not necessarily used in French each and every time a progressive tense is used in English; a lot depends on context. The simple present tense is perfectly correct in all six sentences above.

Answer 6

Hey. I can help slightly. Its been a while since I did French though so sorry if they are a little off

1. Tu est joues le foot
2. Je suis mange les frites de francais (lit: french chips)
3. Ma pere est voit une jour de foot
4. Nous avons visiter un copain
5. Yes. But also at the office
6. Vous ont voyez une dessin moderne

The auxillary verb of etre in particular may be wrong. And I havent included accents because I dont know how.

Hope this helps.
