French language Q&A Forum

For the phrase, "je suis né pour travailler dans ce domaine."  the audio says something like, "je suis né pour cette vocation."

Hello, at the question On a rendez-vous à ______ (We're meeting at six PM.) 

I wrote six heures de l'après-midi instead of the correct answer dix-huit heures. Why my answer is wrong? 

Thanks

Shouldn't it be deux plus deux égalE quatre?

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 think in informal conversations we say like -

Il est pas jeune 

instead of the more formal and more 'grammatically correct' one:

Il n'est pas jeune!

Is it correct !? Responde Sil vous Plait! 

It sounds like he’s saying ‘ J’ai ouvert un emballage’, not ‘J’ai ouvert l’emballage’.

Since se rappeler can be used both with and without de, are these cases fine?

1) Je me rappelle de la voyage -> je m'en rappelle. 

2) Je me rappelle la voyage -> je me la rappelle.

3) Je me rappelle Jean -> je me le rappelle.

J'ai écrit "Je me suis mis à voir quelques boutons..." au lieu de " J'ai commencé à voir... ça marche aussi ?

I don’t think the "grand" in the final sentence sounded quite right, more like gros. It was fine in the recording of the whole extract but not in the individual exercise. Or is it my ears?! (Une nouvelle que nous avions accueillie avec grand soulagement !)
