I'm finding the grammar explanations difficultThe grammar explanations describe accurately. When I studied French I had not had a great education including in English so my understanding of the grammar explanations was not great and still isn't. My French got better through sheer repetition on my own part in private study and by living in France for the best part of a year. In other words there was a large amount of learning what is correct and not necessarily why, followed by what sounds right because I lived there long enough and in only francophone company to know. I am sticking with it, I just am also listening to France 24 en direct on Youtube as well because it's how my French improved so much between year 2 and 4 of my degree back in the day. I found in this exercise I was translating differently, sometimes because I'm so rusty, sometimes because the colloquial language has changed and sometimes because I used a different way of expressing it. It is honing my French again but I am wondering if to use aller faire instead of the future tense is as wrong as this exercise suggests i.e. was I supposed to remember it was to practise the future tense or were my translations really as wrong as it suggested?

present vs future tense after "ce weekend"

why is recevrez, the future tense being asked for? wouldn't ce weekend indicate a "near future action " and so take the present tense?

When there's Numbers Involved

J'ai lu trois livres dont les tiens/ les vôtres. [I read 3 books including yours.]

Is this correct? Or should it be le tien? Masculine/plural form should be used because the noun is 'les livres'?

Martin aime (bien) Sarah

Martin likes Sarah. -> Martin aime bien Sarah. I answered this question with simply "Martin aime Sarah", and I wonder why was it marked as a mistake. Nothing in the question suggested that it's the friendly sort of like, it could very well be a romantic sort of like. Both options seem grammatically correct to me. Isn't that right?
