In Germany "ein Pfund" (a pound) is used for 500 gm (one pound = approx. 454 gm). Do the French use "une livre" this way? If not, what would they sell by the pound instead of by the kilo?

'le musée du Louvre' and ' le musée d'Orsay'

Why is it 'le musée du Louvre' and ' le musée d'Orsay'

If I follow the logic for le musée du Louvre, then ' le musée d'Orsay' should be ' le musée de l'Orsay'

I assme the 'le réfrigérateur' is not abstract; so it is masculine not feminin..

Je sais le faireThe translation according to the lesson is "I can do it" but surely to express "I can do it" is "Je peux le faire"?

This is a long, tough lesson!!I’m having a lot of trouble with this lesson. Can you provide parallel examples of ways to say the same thing with “le jour précédant /précédent / le lendemain” and explain exactly what you mean by the rule that some phases can only be used “on their own.” Also, it is unclear whether the plus que parfait is required or whether the passé composé can be used following a phrase. La veille, nous avions découvert la verité. (example) Are these correct? Nous avons découvert la verité le jour précédent. Le jour d’avant, nous avons découvert la verité. Nous aurions dû découvrir la verité la veille de son mort. Nous aurions pu découvrir la verité le jour précédent, mais nous avons raté les indices. Il a découvert la verité la veille de son mort. I know that's a lot. Thanks for any guidance.
