Le héros?I just realized that it's un héro but le héros. Is there a reason for that? Are there any other nouns that have different spellings for the same gender going from un to le? Thanks.

Can 'aussi que' be used to mean "(included) as well as"?An example from lesson on comparative adverbs: Je chante aussi bien que ma tante. I sing as well as my aunt. Here, aussi que means as well as. In English, we can also say 'there are sandwiches as well as a cake', in which 'as well as' implies 'included as well as'. Cheryl
