Whilst "dans" obviously translates to "in" - I would never say I'm going to stay in this hotel in English; I would say that I'm going to stay at a this hotel in English.

However, I was marked incorrect.

If these both mean I am, when do you use each one?

could you say 'c'est l'heure de mon rendez-vous'

Referring to “vous adorerez cette autre idée : modifier un pyjama en flannelle défraîchi.”

for

“you will love this other idea: making alterations to a pair of faded flannel pyjamas.”

I can only find “flanelle” (one “n”, not two) in the dictionaries. And this is a female noun. So should these answers all be “…en flanelle défraîchie.”?

"...nous ne sommes pas des surfeurs expérimentés."  Why not 'de' instead of 'des' ?  

J'étais soulagée après que tu as réussi ton exam. Here, the main verb is in the plus que parfait and après que is followed by a verb in the passé composé. Isn't that backwards; shouldn't the main verb be in the passé composé and the subordinate verb be in the plus que parfait? 

One possible translation heer is given as "Est-ce que l'on peut aller prendre un café? "

Is the "le" at all related to the café as direct object?  Could you explain/provide examples of other uses of "l'on" in such contexts?  Merci en avance! 

Why is does this sentence begin in passe compose when most of the story has been in the imparfait? "J'ai même commencé à prétendre que nous n'étions pas disponibles." 

Can anyone let me know what is the correct meaning of comment vous vous appelez? 

Is it you call yourself... or your name is... ? 

And, why do we use comment vous vous appelez? instead of Quel est votre nom?. and what's the difference between these two?
