Can you tell me whether rire takes à or de interchangeably? Today I had "Il rit à ses propres blagues". Yesterday "Il rit de ses canulars téléphoniques". I cannot see why there is a difference. Thank you!

"Sarah didn't use to trust ..." is poor English. The correct form is "Sarah used not to trust ...".

Separation of pas ... du tout

I am surprised by the english translations provided above. For example:

I would translate the first as
"She's not at all stupid"

Elle n'est pas du tout stupide!
She's not stupid at all!

Elle n'est pas stupide du tout!
She's not stupid at all!

Ma voiture ancienne I wrote: "I believe ma voiture ancienne" means my OLD car and NOT my former car, but was got the answer marked wrong and said it was my "former car". There's a glitch here with the marking of this question surely???

Why not 'le jour de la Paques'?

I'm really confused. I was marked wrong on a test when I put 'le jour de la Paques' for 'Easter Day'. The correct answer is supposedly 'le jour de Paques'.

Which is it?
