Is « un chat sympa » not a good translation?

ive obviously missed something, but why do we need les here when tous means all (ofthem)?

Je comprends pas la phrase ´faire doublon’. Mais je comprends parfaitement le mot doublon. Merci.

Bonjour,

With regards to Cher Matt, chère Kate. If you are are writing a letter or a card and it's to both of them, could you default to the masculine version and say Cher Matt et Kate?

Merci

Why is “sept heures moin dix du matin” marked wrong here?

Le mot est magnifique, bien sûr.

Why isn't the question above inverted? Is it specific to the usage of "que"?

Is it the same as in sports where if you do it in general its faire but if you're doing it in the moment it's jouer?

My answer of clés was corrected to cléfs. Is that correct?

Also in the phrase: Tu as apporté la monnaie que j'avais mise de côté exprès ?

I can't hear "avais" pronounced, is it just me mishearing?

In what sense is 'une parade' used here - and can you point to a reference for its use please ? I am guessing it may mean 'solution' - but would expect 'trouver une solution' to be used. Alternatively, perhaps it is derived from the verbal expression 'parer à qqc', but if so, I can't find in the many different standard references I have looked at - nor in a search of French slang online - a meaning of the noun '(une) parade' that would fit here.
