The narrative reads "à la chasse aux oeufs" omitting "en chocolat"

The excercise translation was poires rose, while the complete tesxt at the end was pois roses. This sort of thing and punctuation at the end of phrases indicated as errors makes me doubt the utility of these exercises.

I see that some verbs that take de or à and the infinitive drop the preposition when an object follows the verb.  As an example, choisir de drops the preposition when referring to an object as follows:

Je choisis de partir

Je choisis la cérise

As opposed to rêver that keeps its preposition in both cases:

Je rêve de partir

Je rêve du paradis

Is there a rule for this?

Hi, the workout provided these alternative answers: -

“Quel bonhomme de neige magnifique les enfants !”

“Quel magnifique bonhomme de neige les enfants !” 

In this case it's OK to place 'magnifique' either before or after the noun.

Is there a rule that states when some adjectives can be placed either before or after the noun? 

Thank you

I was just listening to this exercise and came upon this sentence:

En une quinzaine d'années, c'est devenu le rendez-vous incontournable des amateurs de musiques dites "extrêmes".

The word quinzaine does not appear to be correctly recorded, it sounds way off to my ears.

I don't understand "être fin a prêt à" and I can't find a translation.

One of the things that continues to confuse me is when to use à , sur, dans when working with dates ( dans l’après midi - ) , sur La  Canebière. Etc because sometimes they use au, à la  and they are correcting me . Is there a lesson I can review to clarify this?

This distinction, as explained, is very tricky for me. I don't grasp the difference in meaning.  Oh well....

not d'autre but une autre ville.

Please explain
