Changing "des, du, de la, de l', des" to "de" in negative sentences

Why is it "Je n'ai pas peur des examens" and NOT "Je n'ai pas peur d'examens". Thank you.

Nous nous habillionsNous nous habillions à 6 heures et demie. We dressed up at half past 6. In English "dressing up" is closer to se costumer or se deguiser, I think. S'habiller is closer to "dressing"

Why is it " Allez, lève-toi! " ? (Vous or tu?)

I am confused by this sample imperative sentence.

Shouldn't it be Va, lève-toi!

wrong answer "nous sommes brossé"

Nous ______________ les cheveux.

We brushed our hair.

HINT: Conjugate "se brosser" (to brush) using Le Passé Composé.

avons brossé / se sommes brossés / nous avons brossés / nous sommes brossé

========================================================

It is stated the correct answer is "nous sommes brossé". However, it is a mistake.

The verb must agree with the subject when it is conjugated with 'être'. In this case, there are a reflexive verb, which has to be conjugated with 'être', and subject 'nous'. Hence, the correct answer is "nous sommes brossés".

I would appreciate your comments on this.
