Is it as simple as J'ai honte d'avoir peur des chats?

In Conte de fées (Passé Composé vs Imparfait) we're given the clue so his daughter had to take care of the garden and the animals. with 'devait' given as the correct answer and not 'a dû'. Why is that the case, when in this class it seems to be the opposite way around? It follows the context of her father rarely leaving his bed, and is followed by describing something she would also do once a month. So it seems unlikely to fit the 'we don't know if she fulfilled that obligation' case for using devait.

In the first sentence, "la tempête [...] a frappé notre village à Noël," why do we use "à" here? Can you say, "la tempête a frappé le Noël"? Is "à" used with all holidays, e.g., "la tempête a frappé à Paques," etc.?

Thanks for this exercise.

One minor detail to improve here: I got confused by "dans le petit bassin" being translated as "to the small pool", which means "au petit bassin", instead the correct English translation is "into the small pool".

Cheers!

I make up the following, but I can't find the answers online. Are "moi" and "toi" correct here? If yes, is there an explanation why "me" and "te" are not used here?

Give it to me! = Donne le moi!

Give it to you? = Donne le toi?

Give it to him/her! = Donne le lui!

Give it to us! = Donne le nous!

Give it to them! = Donne le leur!

Salut

On dit " parlez-leur" Pourquoi pas "appellez-les" ? 

Merci

Yes “finissait” is the right answer here, but the verb “terminer” is more appropriate here.
