The lessons says to use either. Where is the explanation/lesson details? 

Lis-tu des romans de temps en temps ?

I’m not familiar with this use of "valoir" and was expecting a causative construction like "faire recevoir" - can someone kindly help me with a reference?

Also the end of the first sentence "in the women's right struggle"  UK English would usually have "rights" in the plural, as in French.

In this question, isn't there  more than one candle? I chose faiblissons instead of faiblit. 

Just wondering if "le repas du midi" is indeed correct for the midday meal? (I thought that it was "le repas de midi", but maybe they are both correct?)

In this exercise, "rr" of Pourriez-vous sounds silent but in the lesson (Conjugate pouvoir in the conditional present in French = could (Le Conditionnel Présent)), for the same Pourriez-vous, I can make out clearly she's enunciating it. Is it just that I can't hear the "rr" in this exercise as clearly as the other one?

Why does "important" and "magnifique" come before the nouns here? -

Usually the adjectives go after the noun.

1. Dominé par une magnifique abbaye construite en l’honneur de Saint-Michel.

2. C’est un important centre religieux.

You and them are going to have fun!

as a lifelong English speaker (and teacher) this sounds odd, well ungrammatical actually. Surely we would say, or at leadt write:

You and them, you are going to have fun!

as in French.

- Can I use "chez la teinturerie" instead of "au pressing"?

- Can I use "ce n'est pas grand-chose" instead of "ce n'est pas grave"?

- Can I use "de nouveau" instead of "encore"? Please walk me through this.

- Can I use "de secours" instead of "en réserve or de côté"?
