how can i understand that 'the last letter ' in one word is silence or not?

In Germany "ein Pfund" (a pound) is used for 500 gm (one pound = approx. 454 gm). Do the French use "une livre" this way? If not, what would they sell by the pound instead of by the kilo?

bonjour.

Is it wrong to say 'Elle va gagner la course'?  Why must it be Elle gagnera la course?  

Merci

This lesson has me scratching my head with the simple question - why is it here? One of the very few things I remember from O level french (failed) was that regular past participles form ER>é, IR>i and RE>u so to my way of thinking battre follows the regular rule. Maybe this is because french is taught differently in France than it was in England 40 years ago, I remember reading somewhere that the french don't have the same concept of group 3 (-RE) verbs but have several smaller groups including -DRE.

what does "tous un jour" mean? Thanks.

Je m'appelle Marie: why is "Mon nom est Marie" not also correct?

I do not understand this question and why both are correct:

 «Il y a des visiteurs étrangers à l’hôtel», «Il y a des visiteuses étrangères à l’hôtel»

I understand the one about Germany as it’s taken the gender from the country, but I’m not sure about this one. 

Merci
