Is it also OK to say:
Il on a besoin avoir du bois sec as we as il faut avoir du bois sec.

SEC is one syllable - I thought one syllable adjectives went before the noun?

What is the difference between effets and efforts and why is sembler cited as the "best" answer but the final para uses paraître?

How can I say  "I give them all an apple and  "I gave them all an apple"

 "Je leur ai tous donnés une pomme" or je leur ai donnés à tous une pomme

" je leur tous donne une pomme or  je leur donne  à tous un pomme

I can not understand which of them are valid?

please help thank you in advance

Tu es reste' enferme' ____________ une heure.  I put "pendent" which should have been "durant".  I have reviewed the lesson and can't find any distinction between pendent and durant.  What am I missing?

I can't seem to find a straight answer about the use of the hyphen in this situation.  I know that object pronouns are attached to the positive imperative verb with a hyphen, so you would write, "Lisez-le!"  I am also informed that "ça" is a pronoun.  But somehow, I find "Lisez ça", not "Lisez-ça!" and I wonder if anybody has any thoughts about why.

This is, by far, one of the worst written lesson on this site.  It's confusing, too long, and the verbiage used to distinguish between the different meanings are not clear.  I hate it when I read a lesson and am more confused afterward than before.  

Clearly, I am not alone in this opinion!

I don't understand. I'm given a lesson on pronouns but then most of the test is on conjugation of verbs I have not heard of before.

I understand that in the expression "brand new" you use neuf rather than nouveau, but otherwise when would you use neuf rather than nouveau - or are they equivalent?
