Isn't 'santé féminin and so shouldn't the word 'bon' be bonne? 

You correctly noted that they went camping, but the passage specifically states that only the children and their father were away ("les enfants sont partis camper avec leur père"), rather than the whole family.  "  I feel this is obvious as the writer - the mother was at home.  This is obviously not a question but  my opinion.

This passage uses potirons for pumpkins, but last year didn't we have citrouilles for pumpkins?  Are they two words for the same thing or is there a slight difference for using each one?

Why is the “s” not sounded when it is followed by a vowel? 

can i say "il est midi cinq" to mean it is 5 past noon?

How do I place the acute symbol above the e using my phone keypad?

I'm a bit confused as to how to modify a noun in some instances. For example, this exercise uses "sauce au vin rouge"  (red wine sauce), and marks "sauce vin rouge" incorrect while another exercise uses "sauce tomate (tomato sauce) and marks sauce à la tomate" incorrect. Can you explain the différent constructs and why one is correct and the other isn't?

does Y replace en + place too?

for example,

1) Il habite en France. -> Il y habite.

2) Elle vit en Espagne. -> Elle y vit.
