I got the question Mathilde a rentré la voiture avant qu'il ne pleuve. wrong because I chose "Mathilde returned the car..." as the "correct" answer was "Mathilde put away the car..." But in English, saying you put away a car sounds like you put a small object away. Since a car is so big, you would return it to its proper destination, which is why I chose this answer. I feel that both these answers could technically be correct. 

Hello, 

Comment écrit-on la fraction-> 1 5/16, 5 1/2, 3 2/3, etc.  Je sais écrire la fraction de base, mais quand on ajoute un nombre entier, je suis déconcerté

You define L'imparfait as being about things that happened repeatedly in the past or past habits. Yet "You had eaten cereal this morning" is neither a repeated action nor a past habits, yet is expressed in L'imparfait... "tu avais mangé des céréales ce matin"? Sounds more like your definition of le passé composé - a single event in a defined timeframe. I get that the grammar is correct.  What I'm questioning is your definitions.

In my experience, ''fin de semaine'' is used in Quebec much more than ''weekend''. Are they interchangeable in France?

vous seriez surprise(you would be surprised) ils  auraient de la chance(they would be lucky.

Both are saying "would be" when to use "seriez" and when to use auriez. Because they both are coming from etre and avoir,

Any clarification or any clue will help.

In the sentence ‘’ If you manage to reach the cirque, you will have a truly unique experience. ‘’, could you translate this using Hypothetical Clauses using the Imparfait and the Conditionnel, thus « Si vous réussissiez à atteindre le cirque, vous vivriez une expérience vraiment unique ‘’ 

I answered incorrectly "au haricot vert", and was wondering if the difference is audible? Though perhaps this is something to know context rather than hear.
