Why "Comment appelle-te cet arbre" instead of Comment appelle-t-on cet arbre" for What do we call this tree?

The recommended translation of 'It [the year] started with the biggest heartache of my life' is 'Elle a commencé avec la plus grosse peine de cœur de ma vie'.

Is there a reason why 'avec' is preferred over 'par' in this sentence?

I'm wondering why there is no accord between température and record in the title above

If you wanted to say "You are not going to drive me...", would you say "Tu ne me conduis pas..."?   

In “En 1253, le chapelain Robert de Sorbon fonde un collège pour élèves nécessiteux” I was surprised that it was not “les élèves” or “des élèves”. Is there a particular reason why this is the case?

The quiz question

which leads to this lesson is ambiguous in my opinion. I selected Non, je n'ai pas un enfant purely because I would have expected the english for je n'ai pas un enfant to be I don't have children instead of no, I don't have a child. They have slightly different meanings and I believe my answer to be more accurate. I stand to be corrected on that though?

Hello, in the first example mentioned

"I saw magnificent places"

The answer in french is "J'ai vu des endroits magnifiques."

Why is it "des" here instead of d'endroits ??

Would one do liaison in this sentence?

Nous sommes troP Occupe's. (sorry I can make an accent)

Hello,

I just started B2 and I had a hard time understanding a lot of this. I'm wondering if I should go back to a B1 level for awhile. Please let me know whether this is normal.

Thank you

My Notebook is too long and complicated, can I easily divide it into two or more Notebooks?
