Why "Comment appelle-te cet arbre" instead of Comment appelle-t-on cet arbre" for What do we call this tree?

Why is it "des" here, when there is (presumably) only one Martine?

Interested to know why "mal de gorge" wasn’t accepted?

 Incidentally there’s a very rare type of severe throat infection known as "Vincent’s angina" in English. I find from the internet that it’s named after a French epidemiologist with the magnificent name of Jean Hyacinthe Vincent. 

In the following sentence - C'est ma sœur., c'est is not followed by un/une/la/le/les then why cant we use elle est?

Regardez mes fous cheveux! [Look at my crazy hair!]

Is this correct? What are the rules for the before and after placement of Fou?

I was interested in this use of "fameuse", does it have a hint of "infamous" here, rather than meaning "famous" ?

 (I know fameux or fameuse can mean famous or celebrated in the context of food.)

This subject should be presented as a factual event, not as an opinion piece.

Assuming I have not misunderstood the situation, I notice that you follow your guidance 'avoir + entré [quelque chose] dans [quelque chose]' with a single example in which the 'dans [quelque chose]' does not in fact occur. You might want to omit this aspect from the wider stated rule, retaining your current illustration (which would then be correct), and follow up with the information that in most examples 'dans [quelque chose]' occurs, then adding an additional example to illustrate that fact, which at the moment is not illustrated.

Is "mettre les affaires dans" not an acceptable translation of "to pack"?

Merci!
