The first sentence, "il faut vraiment que l'on discute de ta mère" is the contraction l'on for "le" or "la" ? I still don't get why it is even needed. Would it not work to say, "...qu'on disute de ta mère" which then maps to English as "that we discuss about your mother".
I'm guessing that it's a direct object pronoun, but then why isn't "de ta mére" the object of the sentence?

faire exprès de quelque chose vs quelque chose exprès

Is there any difference between "il a fait exprès de casser ma poupée" and "il a cassé ma poupée exprès"?

I've only ever encountered the latter before, and it seems more straightforward to not have the extra verb floating around, but perhaps there's a subtle difference that I'm missing?

Dates from/to test question

The example cited in the page of instruction regarding ''Expressing intervals of dates and times in French = from ... to' is 'The festival lasts from the 24th of July to the 5th of August'/'Le festival dure du 24 juillet au 5 août'.

I am therefore puzzled by the answer to the fill-in the-blank question 'Le festival dure ________ mai/The festival lasts from the third to the tenth of May'. My answer was 'du troisième au dixième', while the answer provided as a correction was 'du trois au dix'

Perhaps I'm being stupid, but my answer seems to follow the example better than the correction. Where is my error?

Faire versus Jouer

Really don't understand why the waterpolo is faire du versus jouer au. There is a ball involved, n'est pas?
