It sounded very much like he added an 'a' sound to the end of this sentence ("faut-il-a"). Is it common to hear this in spoken French?

Hello!
I saw that the correct answer was "la liste au Père Noël de ma fille"; does "lire la liste de ma fille au Père Noël" sounds/is wrong to french ears? Is there some rule or lesson about this?

Thanks in advance,
Luiz

Can you please explain when 'de' is used before a number in French? 

- La population a augmenté l'année dernière de 3,46,000 personnes. (Does it mean 'increased to' or 'increased by' here?)

- Le prix est de 500 dollars.

And, is there a general rule about using "de" before numbers? Please explain? 

Why does this translate to my garagec is small wouldn't that be mon garage est petit?

In the quiz, one of the question was translating ''Nous ne sommes pas arrivés depuis longtemps.''

I selected "We din't arrive for long" which is marked wrong. 

The right answer was "We haven't been there long". Doesn't this sentence mean "we have just arrived"?

If so, in the lesson, Ne ... pas + Passé composé + depuis longtemps = not in a long time. 

Aren't these contradicting. Can someone explain or clarify please. Thanks.

"complimentaient" - I would have thought that "compliment..." would agree with "sa peau", singular, and not "des lèvres" and "de magnifiques cheveux", plural. Is it because "complimentaient" is in a que clause with lèvres and cheveux? 

I loved this exercise.  No idea how long you've been offering it, but I'll be looking for more of them going forward.

Thank you!

Bonjour à tous - Why is there always a space between the last word of the sentence and the punctuation mark? Is that a French syntax thing or a quirk of this website? Thank you !
