In the exercise, how is "ils" a verb?

I think think that there should the mnemonic BRAG 
B - Beauty (joli,belle)
R - Rank (premire,deuxem)
A - Age (nouveau)
G - goodness ( bon, mouvais) 
S - Size (grand,petit)

I'm not saying that this is compulsory but it would be helpful for the ones who have no clue on the subject...even though I am in A0 I learnt it when my teacher told me so yeah..

Is there a difference in usage between these three translations for "it took me an hour to do something":

"Il m'a fallu une heure pour faire qch"

"J'ai mis une heure pour faire qch"

"Ça m'a pris une heure pour faire qch"

Thank you in advance

Après avoir dû oublier l’habitude anglaise d’utiliser des majuscules pour les nationalités - ce qui est parfois un vrai lutte ! - il semble pervers de les trouver soudainement nécessaires dans cet exercice ! Est-ce qu'il y a une règle pour utiliser les majuscules quand la nationalité fait partie d'un nom d'équipe ?

Can some help me further please . Today in the news, Lionel Jospin, the ancien premier ministre said: "Le president pouvait se donner le temps de peser les risques qu'il (faisait prendre au pays)". Is faire prendre a locution? in word reference, I can't see it mentioned. Are there any lessons on faire usage as locution. thanks for your help.

Is it wrong to say "ils n'ont fait rien" instead of "ils n'ont rien fait"

Hello

on the quiz: "we are leaving at four:" I chose "nous sortons à quatre," because I took it to mean "in the process of." But "partons" is correct, because "sortons" requires an actual place. Is that correct? 

Thanks

do you have a way one can practice with headphones while walking .. hands free 

Bonjour. My husband and I will be in France in a few weeks and are renting a car. We’ll be in the Dordogne region on rural roads and even after reading about it I still don’t understand about stopping for cars entering from the right. It seems impractical to stop at every intersection on a road when a small road on the right has a car. Any hints on how this works ? Thank you. I’m using Lawless to work seriously on my French but am scared about driving as I’m only around a B1 level.

After learning all A1 vocab, will I be at level A1. Does it cover all topics regarding vocab? Merci.
