I understand that in the expression "brand new" you use neuf rather than nouveau, but otherwise when would you use neuf rather than nouveau - or are they equivalent?

I am confused by how these words are used. In the Reader above the second paragraph begins: Pour commencer, j'espère de tout cœre qu'il fera beau.....Why is ce qu'ilnot used?

Just a note, when there are tips like the quote below, though this is could be very helpful, the fancy grammar terms without any down to earth french examples right after would make a lot of new students just give up without realizing an example is in the article somewhere. Maybe consider adding examples right after it, at least to save time?

Thanks for the fantastic website! 

"Compound tense : en + [auxiliary] + [past participle] + [number]"

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

This helped me with my french assignment in school so much!! Thank you !!!! pogchamp

Question 1)  Comment se sont passées vos vacances ? Should it not have the final 'es' ?

Query 2) If a question is asked using the past tense, can the reply be in the imparfait?
