Hello travis! I'm glad you remember me!
Thanks for your correction!
5. ...she'd have stayed all weekend long on the beach
6. Why isn't my sentence right?
7. Same rule as after "when": I don't understand what you mean.
10. ...they have been checked by an internationally-renowned press agency

Hello.
6. "to offer sb to do sth" doesn't exist as a construction. Maybe "ask" or "invite" would be a better verb.
"Come" is better than "go" for the idea of accompanying the speaker (even in indirect speech).
7. When you learn which tense to use after "when", you will understand what I mean
10. it (this information) has been checked/verified....
(When you verify something, you check whether it's true and assure yourself that indeed it is.)
See you.

Bonjour
juste une petite remarque : à la phrase 5, "à la mer" ne signifie pas forcément "on the beach".

Hello Travis and Gerold, thanks!
5. Had she had more time, she'd stay at the sea all weekend long.
Here I'm in doubt. I don't know if I should use “at (the) sea” or “by the sea”.
7. The more the effects of climat change worldwide are studied, the more we will tend toward a sustainable solution.
I know you have to use the present tense after “when” when you're referring to the future, but I don't undestand why in this specific case.

Hello,
"At sea" means on the water (and probably far from land).
"Will" is used to give new information about the future, i.e. to make a prediction. What follows the first "the more" is a condition, not a prediction.
"Climat" is misspelled.
See you.

Bonjour vaiana
A la phrase 5, vous avez repris une erreur après l'avoir corrigée ("resterait").

Hello Travis and Gerold. Many thanks for your help.
5. Had she had more time, she would have stayed all weekend long at the sea.
7. The more the effects of climate change worldwide are studied, the more we'll tend towards a sustainable solution.
