In a writing practice, the translation for 'she has long blond hair' is either 'elle a de longs cheveux blonds'

or 'elle a les cheveux longs et blond'. I wonder if 2 of the following are correct also?

elle a des cheveux longs et blonds

elle a les longs cheveux blonds

FUTUR PROCHE vs FUTUR SIMPLE

Dear Aurelie,

Thanks for the excellent exercises, precise grammer and support.

I have a question about Futur Proche and Futur Simple. At what point/time do we change from Futur Proche to Futur Simple: 6 hours, 1 day,...? I do not remember seeing any rules about this.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Chris

Il faut qu'ils sachent conduireJust to test it. Is the rule as follows. If these verbs are preceded with something like il faut subjuntive, if not and positive, indicative, if not and negative subjunctive, subjunctive? Eg il faut qu'ils sachent conduire, ils savent conduire, ils ne sachent pas conduire. Correct or not please?

A chaque fois vs chaque fois

1. When is "à chaque fois" used?

2. Also, does the "enfin" change the meaning of pourrais from "could" to "would be able to" or is that just deciphered by context?

Why 'avoir' instead of 'etre' before 'raison'I saw in one of the examples the following sentence. Je crois que mon ami a raison. why is 'a' used before 'raison'. Shouldn't it be 'est' if we speak literally?

Passé simple vs. Imparfait"During that time, I was very busy." is translated using le Passé simple. However, would not l'Imparfait be more appropriate here, given that it is a statement about a longer period of time? -- Chris.

l'or ou le doré

I used "et l'or au milieu du ...." and it was incorrect with the only correct version given being "et le doré au milieu de ..."

Why can't l'or be used here?
