Instead of "digne d'un conte de fées", can you not just say 'féerique'?

And how about 'le sort' instead of 'le charme' ?

The second singular person of the verb "To have", in French, ends with "s", and I thought that if after a word ending in s, or even x(?), there is a word starting with a vocal, or y, then to pronunce correctly you have to do the "liaison". Then why in this case we don't do that? may be because it's a verb?

I don't understand whether this phrase: "puis je me ferais dorer la pilule" is something whose meaning can only be determined in context.

In the context I heard it, which regarded enjoying being at the beach, it seems to mean: "soaking up the sun", which I would never have understood it to mean if I didn't look it up in Google translate... but perhaps google is mistaken in this case. Also the link provided below does not get to a webpage with the answer. Can you let me know what this phrase means in general?

In the sentence "Le nouveau James Bond est sorti la semaine dernière", "sorti" is followed by a noun.  So you should qualify your assertion that "When sortir is followed immediately by a noun (as opposed to a preposition), it uses avoir as the auxiliary" by excluding the case where the noun is a component of an adverbial phrase.

One of the questions in the test was this: Alice fait du ski mais Thomas ________de ski.

Obviously, goes into the space, but I wonder why Alice  fait ski and Thomas fait ski. Thanks.

Elsa a deux________ euros sur son compte.

I thought gold was (or) how come its jonquilles dorees.

Thank you!!

I am working on level C1. I have no interest in learning the Passé Simple, just in being able to speak French. Half the questions in the test are Passé Simple and I'm feeling the remaining questions are repetitive. Getting a bit bored..... Do love what you do usually!
