Thanks a lot, have to work a bit harder...

Line 11: on which professionals or amateurs can buy or sell.....

is being corrected to:

sur laquelle professionnels et amateurs peuvent acheter ou vendre........

1-  I am unsure of when to use "personnes" and when to use "gens."  I had, "Disons une trentaine de gens."

2-  Why is it "Ma mère adore le fruit de la passion et l'ananas"  with the definite article but "...mais les enfants préféreraient du chocolat"  ?

I thought this was a general opinion and therefore chose the definite article "le" for "chocolat," as well.

It seems strange that such a beautiful song should finish with the line “ In the shadow of your dog”. Chien can also be translated as charm eg avoir du chien. For what reason, therefore, is the final line not “ In the shadow of your charm”?

This is probably British slang for spend extravagantly.  I have never heard this used in the U. S.

Is it correct to say "Il a encore besoin des oiseaux?
