Can I use it like "Aussi+adverb que+ Subjonctif

"Aussi+adverb que+ Subjonctif" is it gramatically correct or not?

I know I can use "Aussi+adjective que+ Subjonctif" But I am curious about using this form with adverbs
For example:Aussi vite qu'elle coure,jamais elle ne me rattapera=no matter how fast she runs she will not catch me?

Getting accents from a windows keyboard

The problem here is not my knowledge of conjugating the verb, but being able to get the accent on the e from my windows keyboard. How do I do that please?

She went to the small swimming pool

As others have noted the English should be "she went into the small swimming pool', as 'to the pool' does not indicate whether she went in or not.

"the next day"

Could "the next day" be translated as "le jour prochain"? This wasn't one of the choices.

Arizona m ou f ?

puis j'irais en Arizona (from fill in the blanks). As I learned from other sources all US states are masculine but 9: la Californie, la Caroline du Nord, la Caroline du Sud, la Floride, la Géorgie, la Louisiane, la Pennsylvanie, la Virginie, la Virginie occidentale. So, Arizona is not feminine ? So shouldn't it be à l'Arizona?

translation of "lors du"Looking at the sentence: Lors du Congres organisé(...clause), un très large majorité des cent quatre vingt huite members se prononce pour l'etabissement d'une monarchie constitutionnelle. I would translate this as "whilst the congress organised, a very large majority decided on the establishment of... So would have anticipated "Lorsque le Congres..." or "Quand le Congrès..." Where as "Lors du..." seems to have the meaning "While the..." "During the..." ...so the definite article seems not needed... can anyone clarify the use of "Lors du..." here I wonder...? Best regards, Michael

Another way to say "in turn"

Hello,

I wanted to ask if it's not possible to write instead of "qui est tour à tour" , "dont a son tour" ?

Also, I don't understand what the expression "qui est tour à tour" means?

Thank you
