First issue:

Interaction p 23 : Tu as de l'argent pour faire les courses? Non, j'ai besoin d'argent.

It explains "avoir besoin de uses de alone when followed by a noun used in the partitive sense" which must be the rationale for the response above.  

1.  Why isn't the question also partitive sense? Please help me make the distinction.

Second issue:

On p340, it says that avoir besoin de is one of a small number of verbs (it also includes s'agir de, parler de, se souvenir de) that require "de" before a noun object and gives the example

"J'ai besoin d'argent pour voyager" (no article before "argent") 

and also gives "Nous parlons du Canada en cours" (has the article); Il s'agit d'un voyage au Canada; On se souvient du passé là-bas.

2.  For all those examples on p340 except avoir besoin de, there is an article and I don't know why they differ.

I am becoming confused. Can someone help please?

This exercise is titled, Le Sun7 Beach...
It should be, Le Sunset Beach...
The same error occurs in the second phrase of the exercise.

Wouldn't on y va also be translated as let's go?

Is it correct to say "Il a encore besoin des oiseaux?  

Also, is it correct to say "De quoi est-ce Catherine a besoin?

Why does noisette not become plural in this case? I can´t figure this out. I don´t see a double adjective with colors. I also don´t see hazel as a thing like an orange. Maybe that´s what I´m missing.? Is it actually a hazelnut or something? Can you explain this one to me? Thanks so much!

In "et lui avait demandé où", isn't the subject still the author, so that it should be "avais"?

Why is the imperfect used in the phrase "si je pouvais remonter le temps" rather than the conditional?

Can you explain why 'surprise' doesn't have an acute accent on the 'e'?

Hi, I wonder about passer par qqn, there are examples as follows:

Yann passera par chez Laura après le travail.

Ma tante est passée par la boulangerie en venant ici

But what about: Yann passera chez Laura ... & Ma tante est passée à la boulangerie.(I've just omitted par). 

Isn't the meaning the same here ? Thank you.
