I was surprised by the phrase “ Ce que j’aime le plus avec Albertville “ Is it equally correct to say, “ Ce que j’aime le plus à Albertville “?

The stone question was not easy. How would one say "Stone collection" or " Pierre's Stone collection"?

Thank you, Di

Can this also be translated as ' Ma soeur à moi'?

Bonjour. Dans les propositions sans verbe, comment s'appelle le rôle de pronom tonique ? Par exemple :

" — Qui pourra le faire ? — Moi. "

" — Moi. " est la proposition qui ne contient qu'un mot, mais c'est quand même la proposition, n'est-ce pas ? Donc, est-ce le sujet ou comment ça s'appelle dans ce cas ?

Pardonnez mon français.

If I wanted to say, "I misunderstood," would any one of the following be acceptable?

Je me suis mépris. 

J'ai mal compris.

Je me suis trompé.

In the sentence, "A few years back, I read a book written by a New Yorker who had lived in Paris for a while, ...", I was wondering if ’pendant un moment’ would be an appropriate translation of 'for a while'.  I found this in Wordreference, used it, and it was marked wrong.

The text to be translated in line 10:

If only she had let them.

The correct answer given is:

Si seulement elle les avaient laissé faire

Why not elle les avait?

The text to be translated in line 11:

-That I can believe, as it’s true that food plays a big part in French culture,

The correct answer is:

Ça, je peux y croire, comme c’est est vrai que la nourriture joue un grand rôle dans la culture française,

Is c’est est vrai correct ?

Why is the imparfait used here and not the passé composé ? The author only wrote this once. 

So "j'aime" means "I love" but J'aime bien" means "I like"?  It would seem more, to me,  that to "aime bien" would be more than just to like but is this just idiomatic?
