French language Q&A Forum

I used navré instead of désolé in this exercise. Is it fine?

Thank you

For the question "Je suis resté cinq jours à Mykonos, mais ________ à Paris", I was marked incorrect for answering "je ne suis que resté trois jours". The accepted answer was "je ne suis resté que trois jours". How does placing "que" before or after "resté" change the emphasis or meaning of this statement? "But I stayed only three days in Paris" vs "But I only stayed three days in Paris". I cannot see the distinction that makes one form wrong and the other right. 

For this example:

Je ne comprends pas le temps que ça lui prend de se préparer !I don't understand the time she takes to get ready!
Isn't the subjunctive of prendre supposed to be prenne?

How do we get better at French? 

Couldn't loisir be used for hobby or is hobby more common (another English word adopted by the French!)?

Shouldn’t it be Viens-tu      Also achètes-tu     

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

How do we know when to use the verb “avoir” or when we have to use the verb “être”? Or is that something we just need to memorize?

HI,

My friend and I were wondering who would be correct. 

She said: The sentence would be vous venez à hurt heures ce soir?

But, I told her the sentence should be Vous venez à vingt-deux ce soir. Since it would be the 24 hour clock for 8pm. Would I be correct?

Thanks
