The recommended translation for 'tiny hairy faces seemed worried' is 'de minuscules visages hirsutes avaient l'air inquiet' - inquiet agreeing with air rather than the subject visages.

Is it not also an option that it agree with visages?

I am looking in Larousse which says that the adjective following air agrees with the subject of the sentence if that subject is a thing and, often, with the subject if it is a person ('Elle a l'air sérieuse').

In the first sentence, "la tempête [...] a frappé notre village à Noël," why do we use "à" here? Can you say, "la tempête a frappé le Noël"? Is "à" used with all holidays, e.g., "la tempête a frappé à Paques," etc.?

Is not prendre in the imperative in "Tiens, prends leur numéro de téléphone" in which case shouldn't the 's' be dropped in prends ?

I did not understand the differences in how "to take care of" translates into french? 

'Après avoir considéré de faire peindre le mur' why is "DE" used? is 'considéré de' an expression

'plutôt que de remettre du papier peint' why is there "DE" here too?

For des bruits "rigolos," can I use "drôles?"

Sorry to rehash this, but I find "follows the opposite pattern" confusing, as it really only applies to the use of avoir + demeuré, which is an intransitive use. Surely être demeuré remains (!) intransitive too, as it’s a state-of-being verb with no object?

In the French translation of 'After engineers have finally perfected driverless cars' no word is given for 'finally' (eg. 'Après que les ingénieurs auront perfectionné les voitures sans chauffeur').

To second what Syliva said three years ago, statements like "La vie, c'est dure" should be counted as correct on a quiz, not just "La vie est dure."

Can you explain why you can put bien meilleure after the noun? I know that meilleur always goes before the noun, but I did'nt realise that it could go after the noun when used with bien. Why is that?
