French language Q&A Forum

Hello and good day all. The way to conjugate “All the tickets have been sold” as either « Tous les tickets sont vendus » or « Tous les tickets ont été vendus » confuses me. I understand the first but don’t understand the second. Thanks in advance.

If I go to Wordreference to translate ’love’, I get 'aimer' or 'adorer'.

Wordreference also translates ’like' as 'aimer bien' or ’aimer beaucoup' or just 'aimer'

I chose ’aimer' in ”I loved celebrating Halloween like that.", which was not accepted. 

Could you explain why ’aimer’ is wrong?  Thanks.

“You sang onstage?” Is rendered by you as “Vous avez chanté au scène.” I think it could also be “Vous chantiez…” if the person being addressed had bern a professional singer. No?

Is the pronunciation of vont a bit odd in this phrase ?

I really need to focus on THIS topic, not just answer two easy questions and then be forced back into the standard quiz mode where I will forget what I am trying to learn. Why can’t I just focus on this topic?  Help!

The English states "... neither head nor tail".  If one translates this to  "...ni tête ni queue", it is not accepted.  Instead "ni queue ni tête" is the only accepted translation, which seems to be an error.  Do you agree?

Why "fin janvier" but not "a la fin de janvier"

I’ve been studying French church architecture this week and had thought I understood that the saint themself is written with no hyphen, but if their name is used for a road, church, town etc, it becomes hyphenated. For example, Saint Denis for the person and  Saint-Denis for the basilica or commune. So I was surprised in this exercise to see the archangel spelt Saint-Michel.

I also noticed that sauvé and sauvée are both accepted for Orléans - presume either is ok here?
