I have noticed that all the phrases use the pronouns, "le or la". As in:
"La fille dont le frere travaillait avec moi..."
"Francois, dont j'ai rencontre la femme..."
Is there any problem with saying the following for example?:
"La fille, dont son frere travaillait avec moi, a gagne le prix"
"La femme, dont son fils j'ai rencontre la semaine derniere..."
"Amelie, dont ses enfants sont venus chez nous, sont bien eleves"
In doing a translation exercise something was modified in English as being "the second most" + adj + noun (ex. the fifth richest county in the state). Could you add an example like to this lesson? Because how it's written in French turned out not to be a direct translation to English and it is not clear to me how to address a phrase like this from this lesson.
Can we use "Veux-tu je vais là-bas ?" as well as "Veux-tu que j'aille là-bas ?"? If yes, what is the difference between them?
It's very hard to spot this difference when it isn't mentioned in any of the lessons.
I’m not sure about the English “physical efforts” , in my mind “physical effort seems less difficult (to me)”
so “l’effort physique me paraît moins difficile” ?
You use "il/elle" for opinions and in specifying a particular item. But say "C'est une jolie robe."
I don't get it.

Rendre visite has a somewhat negative meaning in terms of something being an obligation. That's fine if that's what is intended but you "aller voir" someone who is a friend.
Est-ce que les français emploient souvent des mots comme "petit" devant quand. Par exemple, pourrais-je écrire "Saoul, quand j'ai bu trop de vin, je ne me sens pas bien"
Could somebody tell me the meaning of 'les santons' in this dictée? The sentence is; j'ai laissé la petite jouer avec les santons
