HI,

I am confused with how this is laid out. 

Are all ER verbs have a silent e in them/? due to the non pronounced e shcwa? 

What makes jouer and crier different from your other examples like manger and parler? 

In very formal spoken french would you be required to speak these e's - for example in poetry?

Why is, ”ou s'il s'arrête brusquement” in third person singular instead of third person plural?

Merci

I understand that you are trying to be politically correct by using "they/their" when speaking of Ankou in your English translation even though it's a singular noun.  If this were a non-binary French person, I could understand your effort.  But in English we would say "it" for this strange, unknown figure.  Why not use that?  It gets very confusing.

how does this 'nous est arrivé' come together to mean "happening to us"?

I am trying to figure out how to say "I am good/bad at (something)" in French. There seems to be discrepancies between sources online about what prepositions to use.

For example, I searched "I am good at piano" on an online translator. It gave me many options: Je suis doué pour piano, je suis bon au piano, je suis bon en piano, and je suis doué en piano. I know that you use different prepositions depending on what adjective is used (doué vs bon), but why does this translator give so many options, and which ones are correct?

Also, for example, to say "I am bad at guitar", the translator says you can say either je suis mauvais à la guitarre OR je suis mauvais en guitarre. Which one of these is correct?

Basically, which of these prepositions (en/au/à la/pour) do you use when saying je suis nul/mauvais/bon/doué AT something?

Thank you!

Why is this not in the passe compose?  tout le monde a eu son ....

Moi aussi, je n'ai pas vu les liens. Où les sont ?
