I would like to know if l' + vowel is for only feminine nouns or applies to both feminine and masculine.

Is the word "en" necessary in the above sentence? 

Does this rule only apply to verbs that use être as an auxiliary?  Meaning that any verbs that use avoir as an auxiliary wouldn't abide by this rule. 

I used ‘en dessous de (la table)’ . Can someone explain why that is wrong?

Hi just for further clarification, is it when the 'people' are anonymous and a group e.g les peuples, les gens, les acteurs etc etc can you use'en' to address them? And is it then only when people are named like Marie, ma mère etc etc that you have to use de + stress pronouns?

Salut! 

Quick question here. I understand that this is the conjugation for prendre in the present tense, however the examples given all appear to be present continuous. For example: "You're learning French" is given instead of "You learn French." I'm just curious, is it common for present tense verbs to translate in a continuous sense like this?

(And if so, how would "Tu apprends le français" functionally differ from "Tu en train de apprendre le français"?)

Thank you for the clarification! 

Cheers,

Do "Ma soeur est Lady Gaga" and "Ma soeur hait Lady Gaga" sound the same? 

can you use Donc, instead of Alors for 'so"?

why do you have to say " c'est plutot difficile?"  and not c'est un peu difficile?
