Can someone at least point me to a detailed explanation of when to use Tu. I am 74 and I have assumed nobody will tutoyer me automatically. I would prefer not to tutoyer someone else merely for some hierarchical reason, so I am focusing on the vous form (as does Pimsleur, which I am also using).

During the exercise, the text for this phrase also reads "...mon père et moi avons décidé d'aller à la pêche !", but the audio says"...donc, mon père et moi avons décidé d'aller à la pêche !"
Since "comme" is the qualifier in the preceding phrase, the use of either "alors" or "donc" doesn't seem to make sense.

You
Le samedi, je vais surfer avec mon frère.
You and them are going to have fun!

You and them, you are going to have fun!
as in French.
Could a sentence like "Pâques est la fête la deuxieme plus célébrée en France, après Noël" work?
Which is correct. Il fait beau or il y a du soleil?
Hello,
I just started B2 and I had a hard time understanding a lot of this. I'm wondering if I should go back to a B1 level for awhile. Please let me know whether this is normal.
