Should this example:
J'ai acheté une jupe ! - Oh, c'est cher, les jupes !I bought a dress! - Oh, skirts are expensive!

Translate to:
I bought a skirt! - Oh, skirts are expensive!

I'm confused. Doesn't ..ing in English denote the present participle? In French that would suggest "leaving" would be expressed as "partant", "talking" as "parlant" etc; not the  use of the infinitive. 

My best guess right now is that à is used with definite articles, and dans is used with indefinite ones. So "Je vais au parc," and "Je vais dans un parc." Is that correct?

Is it equally correct to say “Je me suis lavé LA tête” and “J’ai lavé MA tête”?

usage of se passer seems pure examples of pronominal usage and not reflexivity. seems important given the strict pronominal vs. reflexive discussions found elsewhere in course. non ?

The rsults are telling me i scored 0 out of 60 when i was only corrected on maybe 4 of my answers.

Why is the sentence in passé composé rather than in imparfait? The act of saving has to happen over a period of time. It is not a one-time action.

can we form a question using subjunctive like est-ce qu'il faut que je prenne ce cours?
