French language Q&A Forum

The example cited in the page of instruction regarding ''Expressing intervals of dates and times in French = from ... to' is 'The festival lasts from the 24th of July to the 5th of August'/'Le festival dure du 24 juillet au 5 août'. 

I am therefore puzzled by the answer to the fill-in the-blank question 'Le festival dure ________ mai/The festival lasts from the third to the tenth of May'. My answer was 'du troisième au dixième', while the answer provided as a correction was 'du trois au dix'

Perhaps I'm being stupid, but my answer seems to follow the example better than the correction. Where is my error?

I seem to remember having learned that the partitive article is not used to introduce the subject of a sentence.  Please comment. 

I was wondering would these two sentences I made up be correct? I'm trying to understand the difference between the 12hr and 24hr.

Je me couche à vingt-deux heures 

I go to bed at 10pm

Je me révielle à neuf heures 

I wake up at 9am

Thanks

Why wasn't on se voit used for "see you this week-end ?" 

Why is it "je te l'avais dit" and not "je te l'ai dit!"?

Thanks!

Please Kwiziq do not be like Duolingo and be inflexible with the words allowed/considered correct. Faire de la soupe et préparer de la soupe are synonymous and both should be correct.

What is wrong with saying “j’ai trouvé 

leur livre” for “I found their book”? Isn’t it the same as “j’ai trouvé le livre des enfants “?

Small mis-spelling.

“and I set the table with colourful plates.”

“et j'ai mis la table avec des assiettes multicolres.”

-> “multicolores”
