"this classic French dessert" = "ce dessert classique français" and "the melted lemon butter" =" le beurre fondu à citron"  How do I know which adjective goes first? 

It is my understand that both of them mean 'the one' 

What do the letters OVNI stand for ?

May have found a missing translation. I put "j'ai choisi de passer le reste de la nuit dans les buissons de Mme. Maron !" and was marked wrong, but "j'ai décidé de passer le reste de la nuit dans les buissons de Mme Maron !" and "j'ai choisi de finir la nuit dans les buissons de Mme Maron !" are accepted translations.

Just an F.Y.I.:

The exercise is missing the audio, "...et vous prenez la rue en face." during the dictation. I clicked the button several times, but there was no sound. 

Merci

I answered this question with attends que and was marked wrong. In the notes on attendre que it  says "to wait for [someone] i.e. Frank to do [something] i.e. not to come" why is my answer wrong?

Whilst "dans" obviously translates to "in" - I would never say I'm going to stay in this hotel in English; I would say that I'm going to stay at a this hotel in English.

However, I was marked incorrect.

How do we know which form of adverb has to be used...the one ending in '...ment' or the regular form?

- Marie chante le plus fortement.   V/S   Marie chante le plus fort.

- Jeanne parle le plus doucement.   VS Jeanne parle le plus doux.

- Il conduit le plus lentement.  V/S  Il conduit le plus lent.   

How do we know which form of adverb to use in such situations?

Quand j'étais en vacances au bord de la mer, j'ai eu l'opportunité d'aller faire de l'équitation sur la plage. J'avais toujours eu envie de le faire...

I'd like some help understanding why plus-que-parfait is used in the second sentence.  Is it because the desire to ride horseback on the beach is before the also past action of having had the opportunity to do so?  I think the English translation was "I had always wanted to do it" and my brain wasn't able to place this as a past feeling-before-a-past action!  So tricky...
