So many questionsAlthough this wasn't an advanced exercise, I found it somewhat challenging and learned some new phrases, (such as "casser votre tirelire; au fil des annees; and s'enticher de).
But, I have some questions:
Why not "a ete etabli..." for "a ete fondu..."?
"Beaucoup d'artistes mondialement connus sont restes..." for " De nombreux artistes de renommees mondiale ont sejourne..."?
"...Ernest Hemingway est devenu enchante par..." for "s'etait entiche de, etc...."?
"et le bar du Ritz porte maintenant son nom" for "et le bar du Ritz porte aujourd'hui son nom"? (which actually translates to "and the Ritz bar carries his name 'today'" or "is 'today' named after him").
And, for "the fairy-tale like hotel, why not, "un hotel qui ressemble a un conte de fees"?
Merci beaucoup pour votre reponse !
I am curious about the construction of ...fait de lui... Why not ...lui fait...? It seems to me that 'him', in the English, is the indirect object of faire while Français is the direct object. I used ...lui fait..., which was not one of the accepted translations. Why?
Then we cross the spring-green vine arches,
Puis nous traversons les arches de vigne d'un verts printanier,Puis nous traversons les arches de vigne d'un vert printanier,
Does the green not refer to the arches (Plural)?
The example cited in the page of instruction regarding ''Expressing intervals of dates and times in French = from ... to' is 'The festival lasts from the 24th of July to the 5th of August'/'Le festival dure du 24 juillet au 5 août'.
I am therefore puzzled by the answer to the fill-in the-blank question 'Le festival dure ________ mai/The festival lasts from the third to the tenth of May'. My answer was 'du troisième au dixième', while the answer provided as a correction was 'du trois au dix'
Perhaps I'm being stupid, but my answer seems to follow the example better than the correction. Where is my error?
I have no idea what this phrase is supposed to illustrate, let alone identify what part of it is supposed to be the adjective. Are you trying to say une fille blonde comme le soleil? If so, I think this particular exercise is not clear. It seems like a tossed word salad.
In English, one would generally not say "a blonde as the sun girl" one would say a girl as blonde as the sun. Though to be frank, I would not say that, either.

Why is there a direct object pronoun in this sentence, "je poserai autant de vacances que je le pourrai"? What does "le" refer to here? Can you say, "je poserai autant de vacances que je pourrai"?
Je manque toujours les point d'exclamation. Il y a un règlement sur le sujet? Comment peut-on savoir pendant la dictée, si un point d'exclamation est nécessaire? On peut entendre un ton dans la voix?
I understand the literal meaning of this phrase but not really the sense of what she's saying. Agreeing? disagreeing?
the logement hint is in the wrong section
Should we are going to Portugal be nous allons au Portugal or nous allons dans le Portugal.
