Why favorite (feminin) and not favori when Mon (masculin) activité est le ski (masculin) de fond ? Have missed something ?

I was surprised by the phrase “ Ce que j’aime le plus avec Albertville “ Is it equally correct to say, “ Ce que j’aime le plus à Albertville “?

The stone question was not easy. How would one say "Stone collection" or " Pierre's Stone collection"?

Thank you, Di

Can this also be translated as ' Ma soeur à moi'?

Bonjour. Dans les propositions sans verbe, comment s'appelle le rôle de pronom tonique ? Par exemple :

" — Qui pourra le faire ? — Moi. "

" — Moi. " est la proposition qui ne contient qu'un mot, mais c'est quand même la proposition, n'est-ce pas ? Donc, est-ce le sujet ou comment ça s'appelle dans ce cas ?

Pardonnez mon français.

If I wanted to say, "I misunderstood," would any one of the following be acceptable?

Je me suis mépris. 

J'ai mal compris.

Je me suis trompé.

In the sentence, "A few years back, I read a book written by a New Yorker who had lived in Paris for a while, ...", I was wondering if ’pendant un moment’ would be an appropriate translation of 'for a while'.  I found this in Wordreference, used it, and it was marked wrong.
