Marie fait du mal à moi quand elle dit ça... Why has this been marked wrong in my test? Couldn't it mean she has hurt 'me' - rather than anyone else

Plural for "tu te lèves"

I don't understand why this is plural?

Is there any particular reason why New Hampshire doesn't become "Nouveau-Hampshire"?

I live in New Brunswick, Canada, and in French we are called Nouveau-Brunswick. Is that just because Canada is more French than the US? Just curious.

why? Rue is feminine. Or why not just à . Or is this another one of those times when french just works that way and there's no logical reason?

Pour le mariage

The English text did not say it was “for the wedding” (for the last thing to translate). Nowhere in the text was there any mention of a wedding. So why did the last sentence have “pour le mariage” added to the end?

a question within a question

"J'ai fait mal à Olive hier quand je lui ai marché sur le pied." While I'm slowly getting the hang of faire mal à versus faire du mal...why is LUI in the example above?
