I get that with a precise number, it should be "personnes", e.g. "cent / milles personnes" . However, what if I use "centaine" or "millier"? Can I say, "une centaine / un millier de gens", or does it still have to be "personnes"  ?

Merci

Why is New Hampshire of course masculine? I am not getting something, I think.

Is "le 3 septembre et je dois rentrer le 7 septembre" really what is said when played back.  I can't make out rentrer. The word sounds more like renpris.  I'm confused.  Just checking to verify.

Thank you

Are there quizzes for vocabulary lists? I'd like to have a matching or multiple choice quiz for the words above and those in other vocabulary lists.

Is there a lesson or could you please explain the difference between enfin, à la fin, au final, finalement, etc? Thanks.

I’ve no idea what a determinant or partitive article is - could you please extend the list of examples beyond ‘un/une/le/la...’ as this topic is really confusing. 

I have just done this quiz. Why would  brown ‘coussins’ be ‘marron’ and ‘bruns’ be marked wrong? 

What's a better dictionary for English to French translations? I've been using Google Translate, but there are many words, like "a ride"....translated to "un tour" and not "une manège" OR "queue line" translated to "la file d'attente." Concerned I'll be using some archaic or a rarely used definition. 

Please explain why in this exercise the present subjunctive is used rather than the perfect subjunctive in the sentence 'Il a fallu qu'elle reste suspendue dans les airs plusieurs heures avant que les secours ne réussissent à la secourir.'
