Formal French

Is this type of sentence structure formal? I am having difficulty in knowing which is formal and which is informal. When will a sentence like this be used?

I would greatly appreciate if there was some sort of guide for this. Thanks!

Chaque samedi vs le samedi pour dire: every Saturday.

Bonjour, dans une leçon controverse, il'y avait la question de "touts les vendredis" ou "le vendredi" pour aller en ville. Selon la leçon, la façon correcte pour exprimer : Paul takes the train every Friday = Paul prend le metro le vendredi. Dans cette exercise, vous constatez que Ma soeur va nager le samedi est faux pour dire "every Saturday.

Quelle response est bonne ou est-ce que quelque chose ou régle m'echape?

Merci,

Diane

Spelling/grammar correction

Just an English correction - in "Anne never play basketball" it should be plays or played.

les chiffres

Il me semble un peu injuste de ne pas offrir les chiffres écrits en mots comme option.

Did you see them?

Let me know if this is correct: in the passé composé, the past participle agrees with the direct object? The answer was "Tu les as vues" - the direct object was feminine plural - thus the -es to the past participle "vu." I experimented with Google translate, and this seems to be the rule but I haven't found it on Progress with Lawless French, so I wanted to double check.
