I am wondering if someone can explain the difference between "un emploi du temps", "un horaire", "un planning/un plan" and "un calendrier". I have seen all of these as meaning "schedule" and am confused about the distinctions between them (and why the latter three were not listed as appropriate alternatives in the context of this exercise).

Merci bien!

"Tu aimes le violet? Oui, c'est tres joli.""Tu aimes le violet? Oui, c'est tres joli." I said "Oui, il est..." and was marked wrong. Why is that? The object referred to is specific - "le violet". This is not a general statement.

certain -vs- (un) peu deSo I overlooked answering with "certain" for the question : Il y a un ___. (There is some risk.) As risk is uncountable I went with : Il y a un peu de risque. (There is a bit of risk.) In English I can think of instances where those differ (your example of full stress on "some" being one of them.) but they seem mostly interchangable. Any hints on when to use "certain" and when to use "(un) peu de" in French?

Rousse masculine or feminine"What is the gender of the person talking? "Je suis rousse.""

My answer was "ambiguous".

The corrent answer is "feminine". I don't get it. If the question refers to the people of Russia, I thought that was "russe", the same in both the feminine and the masculine.

Needing to show possession of body partAre these both correct for saying, I wish my hair was thick: "Je me souhaite que les cheveux soient épais" or, " Je souhaite que mes cheveux soient epais?" Can you make basically any verb pronomial by adding reflexis pronouns and then know who's "body part" you're talking about? Thank you!

N'y va pas

'N'y va pas' is translated as 'Don't go there', and ' Don't go anywhere' is marked wrong. Yet 'On y va' means 'Let's go' The 'there' is implicit. Surely 'N'y va pas' is the negative of 'On y va'? so ought to be translated as 'Don't go'. In English the 'there' makes it too definite, you would have to have a destination in mind, rather than just leaving somewhere. 'Anywhere' is a better translation, surely?
