French language Q&A Forum

Can anybody explain why this is wrong?.. I can see pour as an alternative but why is pendant wrong here as it is, surely, expressing a duration.

Par exemple, la semaine prochaine, pendant Pâques, nous ferons une chasse aux œufs en français ! 

Giving "pour" as correct.

Why is: "Tous m'a félicité" incorrect?

Instead of Toute le monde m'a félicité...

Can you use "des sièges" ?

I believe "endroit" should have been allowed in "si je visite  un ..." as it is used in the final written dictation and also in the hint in the phrase which follows "si je visite un...".   "Lieu" is currently the only acceptable answer.

In the first sentence I translated "refers to" as "se réfère à" and was marked wrong. I also used 'atténuer' to translate 'dampen', and that was marked wrong, too.  Are those corrections really correct?

Si seulement nous tous étions aussi sages comme ce papa !

On the resume can I use masculine instead of feminine

or is there an acceptable gender neutral?

I’ll just echo the suggestion to add the context (e.g. as described by Chris) to this lesson. Prior to reading the context I was thinking “we don’t even use this tense in English”. After reading it I realised that of course we do use it, and I could understand where it could be meaningfully used.
