Using "mal" or "malade" for the English term "unwell"The correct answer was "Je me sens mal" for "I feel unwell". The discussion points to "mal" and "malade" for unwell. I think both should be correct answers. I chose incorrectly.

De versus Pour with "for doing" expressionsI've used this expression on my French mentor several times and he hasn't corrected me: "Merci pour m'avoir appelé." I've also read and heard expressions like this several times: "Merci DE m'avoir prévenu." Are the words "de" and "pour" interchangeable in this type of expression? Many thanks in advance

Which one is the correct way to say 'do not forget': 'n'oublie pas' or 'ne pas oublier' ? Somtimes I have seen imperative sentences with ne+pas+infinitive but I dont know the rule behind..

When do you use "en face de" vs. "devant"?

For example, I am in front of the school could be: Je suis en face de l'ecole or Je suis devant l'ecole?

Merci!
