French language Q&A Forum

In the last question I chose to use sera and not va être and I wonder why this was considered to be incorrect. I know the difference and if being rigid yes, it's wrong but of course some people will say "will be" rather than "going to be" so some latitude would be helpful. 

I am confused by how these words are used. In the Reader above the second paragraph begins: Pour commencer, j'espère de tout cœre qu'il fera beau.....Why is ce qu'ilnot used?

Which is correct. Il fait beau or il y a du soleil?

I don't know if this has been suggested already, but I've heard this acronym as a rule-of-thumb (not an absolute rule) for which adjectives in French come before a noun: 

BAGS (Beauty, Age, Good or Bad, Size)

You define L'imparfait as being about things that happened repeatedly in the past or past habits. Yet "You had eaten cereal this morning" is neither a repeated action nor a past habits, yet is expressed in L'imparfait... "tu avais mangé des céréales ce matin"? Sounds more like your definition of le passé composé - a single event in a defined timeframe. I get that the grammar is correct.  What I'm questioning is your definitions.

Why is it "en weekend" instead of "un weekend"?  Surely,the article is called for rather than the preposition.  Thanks.

Does effort refer to the skiing activity or to the production of the raclette ?   The sentence seems a bit ambiguous.

Hello-

 For this question: Nadia ________ un bébé. The two choices are attend or s'attende. I went with attend, since the lessons says that attendre (non-pronomial) is always used for expecting a baby, but I was marked wrong.
