Going to the art gallery or the park

In this exercise, can we substitute the preposition “à” for “dans” in any or all of these sentences:

1. Nous irions ensemble dans des galeries d’art (ou à des galeries d’art) ?

2. Nous pourrions manger dans un bon bistrot (ou à un bon bistrot) ?

3. Je l’emmènerais dans un charmant petit parc (ou à un charmant petit parc) ?

I put “à” for (1) and (3) and wondered if it was acceptable alternative, similar to saying “on va au cinéma” ou “à la boulangerie”.

Why vif and not vive?

In “Avec sa nouvelle couche de peinture rouge vif, la petite 2CV paraissait comme neuve”, why is “vif” used instead of “vive” when “peinture” is nf? Thanks, Brian

Lui/leur

Hi,

I am a bit confused of what you would change this to. Would you change à sa tanté to lui or leur?

Thanks

On vs Nous

In the third sentence, we are given the hint to use "on", but then marked wrong when we used it instead of "nous."

vocab list and hint

Two things: I looked up the suggested words and phrases on Google Translate, and a bunch of them ended up being marked wrong. Why not just give us a vocab list at the start?

Also, the phrase "He is very good" is followed by the hint ("good at basketball "). I'm not sure why a hint was given, since the answer was "Il est très bon". Because of the hint I thought the answer must need something more, when it didn't. Maybe eliminate that hint from the exercise? It doesn't serve a purpose.

B1 GRAMMAR

Hi, is there anybody know how to get through B1, especially its grammars? I have been starting this level for a month and I think it's extremely difficult. At this point I just wanna give up and I start to hate French to be honest :(
