Elision and "ne ... pas allé."The spoken example of "Je ne suis pas allé au cinéma." has no hint of elision between 'pas' and 'allé'. I am always baffled by where things get elided and where they are not. Are there any rules about this? Where should I look? Merci beaucoup, Ian L.

Using ‘aller’ for imperative with reflexive verbsBonsoir, The lesson indicated that when we use ‘aller’ for an imperative with a reflexive verb we should use the infinitive form of the verb as in: Allez, vous habiller! So the answer provided for the corresponding question should have been: Allez, vous embrasser! Instead, it was : Allez, embrassez-vous! Can you please explain why? Thanks!

Mangeons-en vs allez-vous enThe lesson shows us "mangeons-en" and I know that "allez-vous en" is a valid sentence. Both are imperative. Why the difference in construction? Why is it not "mangeons-nous en" or "allez-en"? It is just that "allez-vous en" is an idiom or there some underlying graammatical rule?

Est-ce que tu as de la farine?In the question 'Est-ce que tu as de la farine?' , it sounds like you don't say part of 'Est-ce que'. Why is that?

We use de, du and des with venir verb and country, region or state. What preposition will we use with verb aller and country? e.g I go to Canada.
