So I translated "un proffeseur" to be "a teacher" and it was incorrect, with it saying I should have translated "one teacher". The accompanying grammar lesson only has information on the indefinite article (which I was using). What's going on?

How would you say:   "It is hot and sunny?"

Il fait chaud et il y a du soleil? 

NB I don't understand why in French hot is an adjective and sunny is a noun...  

When she is assembling the plane she says 'venir' in every step. It doesn't seem to change the meaning of the sentence so is it just a language tic? If not, what does it do?

Ex. Nous allons venir assembler notre avion

On va venir prendre le deuxième baton jaune

On viendra l'appliquer à l'arrière

Why are Saints’ days feminine if the saint is masculine?

Are all feast days feminine?

Dans la deuxième phrase, nous devons traduire le mot, infuriating.  Vous avez choisi "exaspérant" et je crois que vous avez aussi donné la possibilité  "énervant".  J'ai choisi "rageant" qui n'était pas acceptable.  C'est un mauvais choix ?  Pour moi, je pense que rager implique plus d'émotion que exaspérer ce qui est exactement le cas entre infuriate et exasperate en l'anglais.  Vous n'est pas d'accord ?

In this exercise, we could use faire face à qqch and affronter to express face something, and what about envisager? 

Could we use this verb to express the same meaning? 

Thank you.

1) Surely glacier should be an acceptable translation for ice cream parlour?

2) I'm struggling with the use of à rather than de for the ice cream scoops.  A scoop of vanilla ice cream would be une boule de glace à la vanille, but in removing the word glace, I'd think you'd be left with une boule de vanille.  

Merci.
