Is it ever correct to say ‘J’ai mal au tête.’ ?

Oh my.  This looks like a permanenet discussion point.

"Nous jouons aux cartes" could mean we are playing cards or refer to a specif time they play cards. 

Could one say " Nous faisons des cartes" in answer to a general question about whether or not a family or group know how to play cards?  They coud actually be learning to play bridge for example. 

Tell your friend: "Wake up!": ________ !(HINT: se réveiller = to wake up)My answer is Réveillez-vous, and why is it not correct?

1. Nous dansons.  

2. Je lis un livre.

3. Marie etudie le francais.

4. Marc et Paul ecoutent la musique.

5. Vous faites une promenade.

6.Est-ce que tu regardes la tele?

Why is it not "les champignons pointent le bout de leurs nez" to make the possessive adjective plural?  I have a French spelling guide that shows "reconnaitrais" with an accent circonflex over the first "i".  Which is correct?  

As it is the girl who says that she is sure, shouldn't it be "Je suis sûre que ... " instead of "Je suis sûr que ... ? 

Also, is "Ce n'est pas grave" (with silent "ne") an accepted alternative for "C'est pas grave" in writing dictation? (I often can't hear all the little words in spoken French but still try to include them in my written responses)

Dans la dictée À la laverie automatique, je crois qu'il y a une erreur. Laëtitia parle et elle dit :- Je suis sûre.... mais dans le texte, vous avez écrit "sûr". Comme elle est une femme, j'ai écrit "sûre" et on m'a corrigée. 

I really enjoyed this short video and transcript, thank you for this Kwiziq. Can anybody answer the above for me please? I have recently moved to France and could really benefit from watching programs with accurate subtitles as i find Netflix etc really poor and i can't find any channels on TV with available subtitles. Can anybody recommend to me some good resources? Many thanks to all. 

Why is "quinze heures et quart" wrong for 3.15 pm
