Why does the "Hint" have: "-'it' = l'hotel", but considers "L'hotel..." as incorrect?  I originally used "Il..." (considered correct) and changed it due to the hint!

Shouldn't it be changions de voitures for "change cars" - i.e. plural form for cars? Isn't there a difference between 'change cars' and 'change our car' - i.e. the noun being singular or plural?

In the translation of, "I've always been fascinated by French high fashion, of which Yves Saint-Laurent is one of the most iconic figures.", do we use l'une instead of l'un because of the agreement with the 'la figure' ?

Why isn't "je lui ai fabriqué un album photo" not "j'ai fabriqué pour lui un album photo"?  The grammar section on lui v le focuses exclusively on verbs followed by à such as plaire and téléphoner. 

Google Translate says "I made an album for him" = "J'ai fait un album pour lui" (but weirdly, "I made a photo album for him" = "Je lui ai fait un album photo").

I needed to Google ‘Roland Garros’ to find out that it was the name of what I’m sure most of us know as The French Open. I thought it must be a player so answered accordingly. Thank you for accepting my answer even though it was incorrect!

Bonjour,

Above in the explanation, it is mentioned that l'imparfait has no clear beginning or end. But when I attempted the Fill-in-the-blanks  Mon jour férié (Passé Composé vs Imparfait), there was a sentence - J’étais encore en pyjama vers 13h, (which is given as the correct answer). Whereas I had written, " J'ai encore été en pyjama vers 13h, and this answer was given as incorrect. But I don't understand, the end time is given here, (vers 13h). So why can't we select Passé composè?

Merci!

On est très proches, ma sœur et moi. On est gentils.

Here we have est with proches/gentils. Is it a general rule?

this combination of verb tenses in a si claus/result statemnet  seems at odds with what I've learned about them.

why not "si tu avais besoin d'aide, je serais ravie de t'aider" as a second condtional   or

"si tu as besoin d'aide, je serai ravie de t'aider" as a first condtional?
