Talking about a specific day of the weekIn this exercise, there is the line "Le dimanche, comme il faisait beau..." which I assume is intended to mean "On Sunday (specific day), as the weather was nice..." but does not correspond to the teaching of the below lesson which states that "Le dimanche" means "On Sundays" (plural) and that "Le" needs to be omitted if you want to talk about a specific day.
Can you please clarify the discrepancy. Merci d'avance :)

ATTENTION:You will NOT use le when talking about weekdays in a specific context (on Monday):
Mercredi, tu iras à l'école.On Wednesday, you will go to school.
Mardi, je vais au théâtre.
On Tuesday, I'm going to the theatre.
Cuisinions vs cuisions ? Thought cuisions was subjunctive
When n’avoir plus de is followed by countable object. Is the object always in plural form?
In some cases, I chose other words which were not accepted. In particular, 'valide' instead of 'valable', 'choix' instead of 'options', and 'avoir l'intention de' instead of 'prévoir'. In the context, were these incorrect, not the best choice, or just synonymes? Thanks for all of your help. The question and answer section is quite beneficial!
Can you tell me why it is coffee honey versus just honey?
I just saw in an exercice- Il a pris la voiture de son ami.
The answer with the pronoms- il lui a pris la voiture.
Here the preposition is 'de', not 'à'.
How to understand this?

Hi, I learned the Est-ce que was a formal way of asking a question. So I thought the verb then would also need an inversion, like: Est-ce que avez-vous une voiture?
When do you use the verb inversion? (I heard actually the inversion is almost not used anymore in normal day France)
I think I may need a bigger dictionary! I am struggling to find the appropriate word. For example:
Le sol versus le plancher
imparable versus imbattable versus incomparable versus inégalable
évident versus manifeste.
Also the suggested answer "je vais faire une machine" seems to translate as "I'm going to make a machine"
Help !!
