"J'ai fait mal à Olive hier quand je lui ai marché sur le pied." While I'm slowly getting the hang of faire mal à versus faire du mal...why is LUI in the example above?

Can I use this construction with an infinitive as the "object" of the liking?I know how to use aimer + infinitive to express liking. J'aime manger! Par exemple. How about Manger me plait? Probably not, but just wondering.

two questionswhy "la Saint-Patrick" and not "le jour de Saint-Patrick?" Saint Patrick is masculine as is "jour" however in the answer it is feminine. And could "feter" be used instead of "celebrer" Thank you Christine Clegg

Surname - nom or nom de famille should both be accepted

Official French documents I have had to complete - eg long stay visa applications etc use < nom > for surname; it should be accepted on its own, not just as < nom de famille >. Knowing that when asked for < votre nom > in France, the correct response is your surname rather than first name, is one of the little differences encountered quite regularly. Although official documents do use < état civil >, both < situation familiale > and < situation de famille > are also used in general conversations and enquiries of marriage/domestic arrangements.
