Does this mean that y and le are interchangeable when à is used as a preposition? Obviously meaning is slightly changed but would the different meaning make a huge problem?

e.g. je le veux vs je veux y venir

Hello,

"Il faut que je prenne un rendez-vous à la banque"

In spoken french, is it more common to drop the indefinite article when making an appointment. i.e prendre rendez-vous rather than prendre un rendez-vous? What's most common in everyday spoken french?

Is "baies rouges" acceptable or only "fruits rouges"? And does "fruits rouges" mean a specific type of berry, or can it be e.g. redcurrants, cranberries etc?

I’ve been looking for the main difference with avoir besoin de and avoir envie de and thought I got it when you say that avoir envie de is to feel/need to DO SOMETHING! 

But then the first question to answer is J’ai envie d’une nouvelle voiture and that blew it out the water. 

I am confused again! Why use one over the other in this simple context?

Thank you

Why is est being used with coincer ? Why can’t we say elle a coincé ….?

Or as we know that with depuis, we use present tense , then why can’t we say…. Elle coince là….?

Can you explain when the verb s'installer can be used? Is it just an alternative for s'asseoir or does it have more meanings?
