Should I use car or parce que?
"Parce que" can be used at the start of a sentence. It also introduces the direct cause of something. However, "car" can only be used after a comma; this is because it usually introduces something of a justification for what we have just said.To make things clearer, we can take two similar sentences.
Car is a justification or explanation of something. It is definitely more formal than parce que and is written more than spoken. In English this could be translated into for or because.
Car > Because, For
Car is a coordinating conjunction, should not begin a sentence, and is mainly found in formal and written French. Car supports a judgment or indicates a reason. La réunion fut annulée car le président est malade. The meeting was canceled because the chairman is sick.
However, many French people will use the (perfectly polite) slang term bagnole when referring to a car. It is the equivalent of saying 'wheels' or 'motor' in English.
'Ensuite' and 'puis' both have the value of “then”, but are not always interchangeable. In grammatical terms, 'ensuite' is an adverb whereas 'puis' is a conjunction. As a conjunction, 'puis' joins sentences together.
Because; for the reason that.
Meaning of car in English. a road vehicle with an engine, four wheels, and seats for a small number of people: They don't have a car.
A contraction of ce (“it, this”) and est (“is”), the third-person singular indicative present form of être (“to be”).

If you consider you partner as a friend or a member of you family,you say:"Et toi?". It's the informal way.
With “parce que”, the person you talk to does not know the reason before your explanation (like with “because”); conversely, with “puisque” (like with “since”), he or she already knows the reason. Sometimes, you can use “puisque” to emphasize the fact that the reason is rather obvious.
The subjunctive may be avoided in the following ways: If the subjects of both clauses in the sentence are exactly the same in meaning, que is omitted and the subjunctive is replaced by the infinitive: J'aimerais faire du shopping. (I would like to go shopping.)
In French, we use the subjunctive after certain words and conjunctions that have two parts and two different subjects. Example: Nous voulons qu'elle soit heureuse. (We want her to be happy). The first part of the sentence uses nous as the subject, while the second part uses elle.
Mon amoureux (M), mon amoureuse (F): My lover; some people will say this to children, as it does not necessarily mean someone you bed, but it's honestly a little creepy.
