First sentence

The English says "I am an actress" not "I am French", so, I believe, the translation should be "je suis actrice" instead of " je suis française". Do you agree? I think it is just an oversight. Thanks for the story. Keep 'em coming !

verb grammar

Why is it "vous vous êtes forcément posé la question" and not "vous vous êtes forcément posés la question" since the verb is reflexive and in the compound past tense? Is it because the writer intends the "vous" as signaling a singular subject?

autres ou d'autres ?

I am looking at this sentence - 'j'économise sur les frais d'emballage et autres coûts de transport' - and wondering why 'autres' is preferred over 'd'autres'?

La veille vs le soir avant.

Asked to translate, “ In the evening before a test “, I wrote, “La veille d’une épreuve” which was considered incorrect. The answer given was, “Le soir avant un exam”. Why was my answer wrong especially as “exam” does not feature in Harrap’s Shorter French And English Dictionary or Le Robert de poche. Test is translated as épreuve and examination is translated as examen. In a school context tests and examinations are different the former being of less importance.
