French language Q&A Forum

Also this is how i am trying to memorize the verb conjugations of regular and irregular verbs

Let me know if its ok or not 

For example in cuire 

As its irregular nature 

It has endings with je cuiS. tu cuiS and il cuiT

Opposite to regular verb parle

With conjugation of je parlE, tu parleS & il parlE. 

Please correct me if am wrong.

I do not understand the last sentence.  Why use the third person singular with "nous"?  Or should this be "on" not "nous"?

As an alternative to "des aiguilles de pin," can one write "d'aiguilles de pins"?  Or is "des aiguilles" appropriate because (as I suppose is the case)
"aiguilles" are considered uncountable here?  And why "de pin" instead of "de pins"?

I notice there's a subtle difference in the 'e' sound between
il/elle tient and
ils/elles tiennent

Could you explain that a little?

Why in this sentence 'francaise' is omitted? The English text does contain the adjective 'French', that is to say

Pour moi, la meilleure joueuse de tennis française sera toujours Amélie Mauresmo.

I learned that “N’est ce pas” is rarely used these days in France.  A simple “non?” is commonly used instead.   Is that false?

Am I missing how you marked my submission? What I wrote was at least 50% correct, maybe even 70%. Without seeing my errors, half the learning disappears. 

pourquoi on dit

Je me suis fait faire les ongles la semaine dernière.I had my nails done last week.

Mais  pour "I had my hair brushed."

On dit "Je me suis fait brosser les cheveux," et pas "Je me suis fait faire brosser les cheveux." ?  merci

regarding sentir: I have no idea what the difference would be between: "I smell smoke." vs "I smell of smoke" (because I just stoked the wood stove, for example).
