Voulez-vous vs voudrez-vouzWhy is it that "voulez-vous" is a more common translation of "would you like" than the conditional "voudriez-vous"?

Vendredi and Le VendrediHi, I'm having a problem understanding why "Pierre is taking the train on Friday" is wrong. I see the correct answer is "Pierrs takes the train on Fridays", but the "explain this" is not really explaining it for me as the only difference is the "le" vendredi. Can you explain why please when you get a chance. Thanks a mil, Celine

Ma famille habite en France

Ma famille habite en France = my family lives in France...

Why is it not Ma famille habitent or habitons en France? Isn't family refering to "they" or "us" rather than "he" or "she" for conjugation? For example: Mes parents vivent en France. That makes sense to me because parents are like "they" so it gets the ent ending. Why is it not the same for famille? Merci!

Merci!
