For des bruits "rigolos," can I use "drôles?"

Are there other verbs who follow this same pattern: ie. they can be conjugated in the past tense using either 'etre' or 'avoir'? The verb that comes to mind is:

'Paraitre'?

Merci

Est-ce qu'on utilise "À partir du premier jour des vacances..." au lieu de "Dès le premier jour des vacances..." dans ce contexte ?  Si non, pourquoi ?

Why do some countries not have an article stated?

Hi, just a little correction, soixante-dix should be at the top of the list :)

Can I use this phrase in situations like, "That's it! I've had enough!" Or would ça suffit be more appropriate here? 

A multiple choice question I got gave me the options of (1) “La porte fait un mètre de large.”, (2) “La porte a un mètre de large.”, (3) “La porte est un mètre de largeur.”, (4) “La porte est large d'un mètre.”. According to the dictionary I use, you can use avoir, too, and it gives the example of “Ce meuble a 45 cm de large.”; however, the quizz insists only (1) and (4) are correct. Who’s right?

Please: could someone please explain why the "de" is necessary in the following sentence:

"Il avait trop bu la veille de l'accident. "

I don't understand the need for the "de" following "la veille."

Thanks in advance!
