“trois-cent-quarante    three hundred and forty”

However, in the lesson “Expressing large numbers -thousands/millions/billions - in French” the description begins with:

“Up to neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuf [choses] (999 [things])”       

Which example is correct? Should there be hyphens between all parts of the number, or just some of them?

Thank you.

Can we say nous étions censés .... instead of nous devions arriver....?

Hi! 

For "Je me fais appeler" what does the "fais" mean? What are you doing/making to your name??

Thanks :)

Pourquoi on n'écrit pas "en tant que votre thérapeute??????

Why is it "d'une" and "de boire" ?

What if you want to use a pronoun how would you say it. Example j'ai rendu visite à ma soeur. In this case if I want to replace à ma soeur with a pronoun 

Hi, for “but I used to play it all the time when I was a teenager” we are given the answer “mais j'y jouais tout le temps lorsque j'étais adolescente”. 

I had put “mais je le jouais…”. What’s a good way to interpret why it should be “y” and not “le”?

Thanks, Brian

I wrote 'rencontrerez' for the future of the verb rencontre, & I got it right in the fill-in-the-blank exercise Horoscope de l'année (Le Futur); however, it doesn't seem to fit into the pattern for either regular -er and -ir verbs in the future or -re and -dre verbs in the future, and it directed me to this page, so I'm confused.
