What's the difference in french between saying I took my exams and I finished my exams?

why there's not il/elle; nous; ils/elles?

I found this lesson really confusing.

You say derrivatives of paraître, but how am I to know that appraître isnt a derrivative?

Could you please explain the reason for the inversion of the negative "ne...rien" in this sentence?  Thank you.

Greetings! The translation of "des aromes de fumier" above says "smoky aromas," but I'm seeing in the dictionary that the meaning of "fumier" is "manure." Is the translation above mistaken?

Why does this sentence use "en" instead of "dans"?  I thought "You got into the car quickly" should be "Tu es monté dans la voiture rapidement."  Is there a difference in meaning or can I use "en" and "dans" interchangeably to express getting into a car?  

You really need to work on these types of exercises. Sometimes if there are two example sentences and you write one word from example one but the rest of your sentence matches example two, it marks that sentence wrong even though it is right. You need to include every combination of correct sentences!

Nous les avons préparés nous-mêmes

If préparer is a regular verb why do we use it with 's' in past tense?

Thank you.

What does "en train de" literally mean?
