Hello!
I would like to know where we place a pronoun in the sentence using "faire + l'infinif."
1) Tu as fait changer tes rideaux ?
If I would anwer to this queation using a pronon "les" for mes rideaux, "Yes I had them changed," where would the pronoun be placed??
The same question...
2) Je me suis fait faire les ongles.
Where do we place "les" the pronoun if we say, "You get them (your nails) done!"
Is there a certain rule that we need to know and follow??
Thank you very much!!

Another question! I have noticed in many sentences on the tests that you almost always use "aller" in addition to a reflexive verb.(I'm NOT referring to the "futur proche.)
Ex:1) Nous avons décidé d'aller nous promener. 2) J'irai me coucher tôt ce soir.
Isn't "going" already in the verb - se promener = to go for/to take a walk, se coucher = to go to bed. Seems a bit redundant. Just wondering why?
It is correct without "aller", isn't it?
1) Nous avons décidé de nous promener. 2) Je me coucherai tôt ce soir.
The last sentence, Voyons voir ce qu'on peut faire pour vous, translates to, Let’s see what we can do for you.
Why is "voir" used? I thought voyons alone means "Let's see", so using voir seems unnecessary. Is it an idiomatic expression?
