Marraine m'avait prise dans ses bras

...why prise and not pris? Which rule would apply here?

Est-ce qu'il y a une différence entre les mots "entretien" et "entrevue" ? Merci. 

"Il est bon", refers to the actor or the film? If it is the film, shouldn't it be "c'et bon"?

Why we use "va" instead of "vas"? I thought it was "vas" since they communicate with "Tu".

In the question:  "Regarde! Elle bâille! Quelqu'un est ________ ."  I chose "fatigué", and was marked wrong, claiming I had put "bâillé", (which I didn't.) Why?

What is the 1st conjugation for?

Just a question concerning the reference to Finir as the Regular 2nd group of -ir verbs; and Partir as Irregular 3rd group of -ir verbs.

Is there an explanation somewhere of the groups of verbs that are being referred to here? What is the Regular 1st group -ir verbs, etc.?

I was doing an Alevel french translation and encountered this. I could guess the meaning ‘24 free services are offered’ but I don’t get why the word order is like this. 

Bonjour,

I found this sentence on wordreference when I checked the word profondeur: 

Ce gouffre a trente mètres de profondeur.

Is it correct??

Merci

Aapparently when turning to take another street or road, one uses the preposition, dans, as in "...tournez à gauche dans la rue Jacques Cartier." But if one continues on this avenue or route, one uses the preposition, sur, as in "...Continuez sur cette route..."  However, then we have "... puis prenez la deuxième à gauche sur l'avenue de la Liberté" where now the preposition, sur, is used in this turn.  So, the prepositions are a bit confusing for us.  Can you give us some advice regarding sur and dans in the context of directions?
