Can someone explain difference between 'brun' and 'marron' in french with examples?

Merci

Hi,

We can't hear "Apportez un pique-nique."

This lesson is very confusing.  Wow. I have so many questions,  I don't know where to start!

is translated above as:

I guess a woman's past from the way she holds her cigarettes

I would have translated the French to read "I guess a woman's past by the way she holds her cigarettes.

In the lesson it says:

As for the years post 2000's,

There is only one way to read them, and that is as a full number:

But there are still many years to come after the year 2000 (infinitely many actually). 

So, how would you say 'the 10th of March 2155'? (my 200th birthday :)

"Le dix mars vingt et-un-cents cinquante cinq" or "Le dix mars deux mille deux cents cinquante cinq" (or neither)?

I used avoir + monte because in the notes it says this means - to go up, but the answer uses etre.  Please can someone help me with this?  Many thanks, as always!

In this article, it says that when talking about specific things we should use il/elle.

Yet in the example, we see a sentence that says:

   C'est le fils de Martha

Wouldn't we have to use il est instead of c'est here ? Just how many kids does Martha have that we have to use a generalizing statement like c'est instead ?

how can i distinguish which verbs with direct object, which with indirect object? i did a lot of wrong answers because of that.
