How to make negative passé composé  sentences 

Since the paragraph was using 'on' consistently, I chose "On y va ..." instead of "Allons-y ...".  Why is this wrong?

Si "to go ski" est "faire du ski", pourquoi "would go skiing" n'est pas "faisaient du ski"?

Why is "les distances de sécurité" plural here?

Hi, 

I made several errors with my phrasing choices and was wondering if any of the following could have been correct:

2. It was quite difficult and daunting at times - Could you use bien instead of plutôt/assez to mean quite?

3. Could you said "je compte desormais lire un livre en français plusieurs fois par an."?

Thanks!

I don't understand why in this lesson the example is given i.e. the ez is dropped from the verb

-Donne-moi les fleurs!

-Give me the flowers!

However, I have been marked as incorrect by doing what seems to be the exact same thing.

Make this statement into an order : "Vous me donnez les fleurs": ________ les fleurs!imperative

·         Donnez-moi RIGHT

·         Donne-moi WRONG

Is this a mistake on your part or am I missing something here?

are both ok?

Is it true that unlike mentioned in this lesson, Faux/Fausse can also come after the noun? And when it does come after, it has to mean "wrong". (..instead of "fake/false")?

- J'ai tapé un code faux et ma carte est bloquée.

- Malgré quelques réponses fausses, j'ai réussi l'examen.

Pourquoi est la langue française si confusant?

In the context of "He lived and worked there as a slave until his master emancipated him in 1776." can one use émanciper?   It wasn't accepted when I tried it.  My dictionary only gave émanciper as the translation for emancipate.  Now that I have learned affranchir,  I will use it.
