To use Heureusement vs par chance for "luckily"

Are these terms interchangeable?

very confused about agreement

Then why is "nous nous sommes brossé" correct? shouldn't it be "brosses"????

Tenses - Quand elle sera grandie, elle voyagera beaucoup. Is it right? Or "Quand elle aura grandi, elle voyagera beaucoup " is right? Please clarify

Quand elle sera grandie, elle voyagera beaucoup.

Is this sentence right?

I feel the following is right. Please clarify anyone.

Quand elle aura grandi, elle voyagera beaucoup.

S'occuper de and prendre soin de

Bonjour, I wrote 'Sonia va s'occuper de vous' and it was marked wrong and replaced with 'Sonia va prendre soin de vous' and yet in the replay s'occuper is used which is puzzling.

Still confused with "dans" and "en"

The model provides this sentence:

Nous mangerons dans une heure.

But a quiz corrected my response of

Nous mangerons dans trente minute seulement.

With

Nous mangerons en trente minute seulement.

My understanding was that "will" was the cue for "dans", but evidently not. Any clarification will help. Thanks.

Here is the phrase: "Enfin, j'arrive sur la Grand-Place et je retrouve mon frere a cote de la fontaine."

Note: "La Grand-Place" was given as the hint for this sentence, otherwise I might have written, "la Grande-Place", (even though the pronunciation is "grand" and not "grande").

Does anyone know why " la Grand-Place", rather than "la Grande-Place" since "la place" is feminine ?

Merci beaucoup !

je crois que tu es belle

it could be a strong belief so why marked wrong in favour of penser

Do you deliberately try to trick us?

Rule: words ending in -é are usually masculine (no exceptions mentioned)

Question: What is this noun's gender: ''amitié'' ? (HINT: Look at the word's ending)

Answer: FEMININE!

Given that it is obviously an exception, why ask it like this? Just discourages students who've gone to the effort of remembering the "rules".
