Approximative number question

So you can only use these expressions (attaching 'aine') with the quantities shown above? How would I say '35 or so apples' for example?

Words in conditional

I came across these three sentences and I was wondering why I got them wrong?

The president is reportedly in Brazil today

Le président serait au Brasil aujourd'hui is the answer I'm confused as to why is reportedly is using serait?

The director will reportedly sign the contract le director signerait let contrat is the answer again why is will reportedly using signerait?

It would be prettier if there were more flowers

Ce serait s'il y avait plus de fleurs is the answer again here they used serait as would be prettier. Why is that?

Thanks for the help in advance

The same translationIl se lève tard- In English this sentence: He gets up late. & He wakes up late. - They are synonymous. To get up late can be directly translated as to wake up late. I find it slightly confusing to have both choices for translation.

Is it possible to form inverted questions with reflexive verbs when the subject is "je"?

One of the examples given is:

- T'appelles-tu Martine?

- Is your name Martine?

How would one say "Is my name Martine?"

My ear says that the kind of inversion describe in this lesson ("M'appelle-je Martine?") isn't allowed in French for the first person singular. But I could be wrong.

In any case, it'd be helpful to add either an example, or a specific note that this isn't allowed, to the lesson. Thanks!

Ta télé est bien mais la mienne est mieux...

bien or bon?

I could understand, «c'est bon» «c'est bien» and «être bien + adv.» such as le contraire est bien documenté

But «être bien (alone)»?

"que mamie avait faite exprès pour moi" - where does the faite come from? Why is there an e?

I understand this is plus que parfait, but shouldn't it be avait fait? Why is there an e here?

Qu'en penses-tu?

I see that this is a reversed question- but what is the reversal? Tu penses en quoi?

Can I use "l'habitude" to say "used to"

In the first line, "...I used to sleep all the time." Instead of "je dormais tout le temps", can I write "j'avait l'habitude de dormir tout le temps"?
