C'est x Elle est

In the sentence "She's a French actress", supposing I'm pointing out to a picture of the actress in my hand or the actress is standing herself by my side, presenting her to others, in these cases, can I say "Elle est une actrice française" ? Or even though it remains "C'est une actrice française" ?

When do you use "en face de" vs. "devant"?

For example, I am in front of the school could be: Je suis en face de l'ecole or Je suis devant l'ecole?

Merci!

In the example “On est partis.” partis is made plural even though on is considered singular. Is this correct?

Regarding the translation of 'the weather was beautiful the whole time!'

Regarding the translation of 'the weather was beautiful the whole time!'

the answer is given as:

il a fait beau tout le temps !

BUT an alternative answer is also given:

"il a fait un temps magnifique tout le temps !"

This seems to conflict with the lesson ‘Talking about the weather with il fait + [adjective]’ which states that: -

"Il fait should always be followed by an adjective, and il y a used with nouns."

Could you please clarify as un temps is a noun.

Thank you

verb conjugation in this dictée

Hello - I cant work out why in the penultimate response the reason why the verbs conjugated like this when the subject pronoun is nous "qui nous maquillera et nous coiffera pour le soir."

I would have thought it was nous maquillerons et nous coifferons

Can you explain?
