Tu fais quoi? and vous faites quoi?

Is it fine to use these forms to ask "what are you making?" or is there a more appropriate way to ask/better verb to use?

arriver, to manage, also uses être as the auxiliary verb?I answered the quiz using 'as arrivé' for 'managed', but it was marked wrong and this is the linked page. There are other verbs which sometimes and avoir and sometimes être depending on meaning. Do I correctly understand that with arriver it only uses être? Thank you, Terri

Écouter takes direct object pronoun?From the lesson: J'aime l'écouter. (I like to listen to him.) Écouter = to listen to Isn't this use of 'him' an example of an indirect object, and therefore, "J'aime lui écouter", correct? Unless écouter isn't a verb that's usually by à, but it sure seems that it is.

Soudain vs. soudainement?

In this example, I am wondering why soudainement is not used (adding "ment" to the feminine version of an adjective).

I am looking at this sentence and soudain seems to be used as an adverb/is that why no "ment". If so would you please provide me with an example where soudainement might be used? Many thanks.

On regardait les lucioles, et soudain toutes ont disparu.

Can I say "Je vais du cinéma" instead of "Je viens du cinéma" ? Or: "Je viens au restaurant" instead of "Je vais au restaurant" ?

H. asked about bel homme > beaux hommes"The first sentence uses 'bel homme'. Is that right? Should it not be 'beau homme' so the plural would be 'beaux hommes'?"
