I have a lot of trouble with french because i directly translate the English. So i wanted to know if "on y va" can also be used for something like, "let's do it" or "let's get started". Or is it just for "let's go somewhere" like a place?
Il rappelle son ex à Maria -> He reminds Maria of her ex.
Do we know here that it's Maria's ex rather than his ex? If we do, then how would we say his ex?

I just did an exercise from a textbook on Passe compose. The exercise requires you write the correct form of the words in brackets.
Q-.Combien de femmes avez-vous (Voir)?
My answer was: Combien de femmes avez-vous vu?
But the answer given by the textbook was: Combien de femmes avez-vous vues?
Which answer is correct and why because I know passe compose using avoir does not agree with gender. Help with explanation if I am wrong
Why is On besoin d'amore incorrect? Wouldn't either On or Nous be correct?
et il m'a dit qu'il en avait encore
"C'est alors que Maxine_______mon sac et s'est enfin en courant." I got this question wrong because I chose the Imparfait rather than PC. Is the correct reason for using the PC because Marie's action is best described as a sudden one, it cuts into something ongoing? I thought I had the difference between the two straight in my mind but obviously "non". Can you explain/confirm if my reasoning (after getting it wrong!) is correct? Thanks. Valerie
