Can we ask "Tu as quel âge?" or "Vous avez quel âge?" ?

It seems to that this phrase means "I will go to work in public transport."  In other words, she will be working for (or in) the public transport system.  Shouldn't it be "J'irai à mon travail en transport en commun."?

Hello All.

I was reviewing pronouns using this page:

https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/indirect-objects-2/

It mentions using the adverbial pronoun "y" and then gives an example:

I thought that "y" could only be used to reference an inanimate object, not a person.

Are there special cases? What am I missing here?

Thank You in advance.

I can’t figure out when to make cent plural when writing dates. I see it is plural in 1900 but not in most other dates. 

This point has been already raised in an answer to a previous question but has not received any attention. So would like to pick it up again.

I have two grammar books containing examples with "dont" and numbers which do not state this requirement for "qui". For brevity I will just cite one of them:

"Grammaire Progressive du Français B1 B2", 2019, p.116:
"Ils ont trois grands enfants dont deux sont médecins."

So my assumption is that "qui" is not required, if the "number" is the subject of the next sentence.

It was in another new year exercise but not this one. Why not?

Is opposé used rather than en face de ever?  In what circumstance would I use opposé(e)?  Would I be understood if I used opposé and not en face de? Merci.

Word reference translates flavor or flavour as either la saveur or le goût, except for yogurts or ice creams, in which case le parfum is preferred.   So, in the text, since we are talking about desserts in general, why not allow saveur or goût? 

À propos de la dernière phrase, est-ce qu'il serait possible d'employer "leur entreprise" au lieu de "leur commerce"?
