À Pâques or le jour de PâquesHere's the example the lesson gives: À Pâques, les enfants vont à la chasse aux oeufs. "à" is used because "in general" this happens. 1. "On Easter Day I have lunch with my family." -- is also a general statement. A specific statement would be: 2. "On Easter Day I will have lunch with my family." But you are saying the answer for 1. (in my test session) is "le jour de" for a specific statement instead of "à" for a general statement." Please explain.

When asking a question shouldn't we use (f.i.) "Aurez-vous ...?" instead of "Vous aurez ...?" ?

Agreement of pronounsJust saw this in an online newsfeed. Accompagnée d'un ami originaire, comme elle, de la région lyonnaise, la victime entreprenait la descente de la Roche de Mio, lorsqu'elle a bifurqué dans le couloir pour repérer un passage sensé raccourcir l'itineraire. Is it correct to have the pronouns all agreeing with la victime, even when the victim was male ?
