Does this convention only work when talking about full thousands/millions/billions? What if you want to say 12,505 things or 1,350,000 things?

In the fill-in-the-blanks piece associated with the music vocabulary, reference was made to « faire un carton » - to be a hit, so I looked into what the opposite of this would be and « faire un bide » - to be a flop. Useful vocabulary to add to the list ?

Referring to “vous adorerez cette autre idée : modifier un pyjama en flannelle défraîchi.”

for

“you will love this other idea: making alterations to a pair of faded flannel pyjamas.”

I can only find “flanelle” (one “n”, not two) in the dictionaries. And this is a female noun. So should these answers all be “…en flanelle défraîchie.”?

If I recall, the English is "We'll spend Saturday in the old town..."  The translation for Saturday is la journée instead of samedi.  Why is samedi not accepted?  It seems like an oversight.

Q1) Isn't this correct?

Vous m'y avez parlé. [You spoke to me there.]     (Parler à)

Q2) Isn't the scenario of Indirect Object Pronoun/COI with Adverbial Y possible? If not, why?? 

Q3) And similarly, vice-versa the scenario of Direct Object Pronoun/COD with Adverbial En is also not possible?? Hence, is it a rule that it will always be [COD + y] and [COI + en] in Double Pronouns??

If you wanted to say "You are not going to drive me...", would you say "Tu ne me conduis pas..."?   

In my last test the answer was ‘le jour de Pâques‘. I got it wrong. Now the answer is ‘à la Sainte-Catherine‘. I got it wrong. Next the answer is ‘à Noël’. I got it wrong. Could you put all the rules on one page please, so I can see the pattern? Thanks.

When we are using C'est plus the standalone adjective,is it always masculine and singular?on it can also be masculine and plural depending on the sentence ofcourse 

Just wondering why these exercises aren't marked automatically.   I think the whole thing would flow much better if we could go straight from one section to the next.

'I always loved...' Why is it in the past tense and not imparfait in French? I felt it was an opinion. (P.S Found this query very well explained below. So please ignore this part.)

Why is apprendre preferred over étudier?
