can I write un mouton instead of le mouton?  

Marie était (l'imparfait, être) réveillée (past participle, singular, fem)par les oiseaux tous les matins. Why not use the infinitive rather than past participle? or should it be passe compose?

In this exercise you prefer 'partir' (to go) over 'quitter' (to leave).  But 'quitter' seems to be the more relevant in the context.  Am I wrong?

Dans cette exam j'ai répondu que-  Il est sept heures et demie.  mais je suis mal marquè. quelle est la raison

I would suggest that this exercise be set at a higher level.  I don't believe this is pegged right for an A1 learner.   Perhaps A2 would be better.

The lesson says 'Elle rappelle Lady Gaga à elles.' is wrong, yet it follows the same structure as ' il rappelle son ex a Maria'. Is this something to do with 'elles'? is it just grammatically inelegant?

J'ai vu des oiseaux passer dans le ciel.

J'y en ai vu passer 

J'en ai vu y passer

Which of the above is right?

I have found it useful to translate rappeler as 'recall'. It's synonymous with remind, but its English language grammar is more similar to rappeler- you recall x to someone , you remind x of someone - and rappeler surely has a root in appeler, to call, re-appeler, recall. Helpful?

«Faire de qqn» proved to be a difficult expression to track down anywhere. It was suggested by deepL - but without any explanation, of course. Looking at questions below, it seems others have pondered over this as well.

A hint here that it is literally 'make of me' would be very useful. Of course, in English we usually leave 'of' out, and just say 'make me', or move the words around to 'make (something) of me'.

Si vous voyez cette phrase ci-dessus et si vous traduisez à l'anglais, vous êtes arrivez -Larents live on the street. mais dans les choix, il n' y a pas cette option 'street' donc c'est ne pas vrai choisir cette option.
