Bonjour Madame !

I would like to ask a question regarding two sentences provided by Kwizbot during my test. I believe you would answer it.

1. Paul, lequel elle fait confiance à, est un menteur.

2. La femme qui j’écris à s’appelle Josiane.

These sentences were to be marked incorrect. But, will the correct sentences be as follows-

- Paul, auquel/ à qui elle fait confiance, est un menteur.

- La femme à qui/ à laquelle j’écris, s’appelle Josaine.  

Merci pour répondre à ma question. 

Please confirm.  The masculine forms bel, nouvel and vieil are used before a noun that begins with a VOWEL.  This rule does not apply to a noun that begins with an H?  Par exemple:  Regarde ces vieux hommes.  Merci.

The answer given was boissons fraîches. Is boissons froides wrong??

Is it more akin to “I think he/she is cool/fun” or does it indicate a crush on someone?

For example, "J'ai failli le faire" vs "Il s'en est fallu de peu que je le fasse."
