When you keep your normal statement followed by quoi at the end 

-Tu fais quoi?

Can you replace it with comment 

-Tu fais comment?

In the final sentence why is dépeignait not given as an alternative verb. It seems more precise than représentait.

What if you want to use a pronoun how would you say it. Example j'ai rendu visite à ma soeur. In this case if I want to replace à ma soeur with a pronoun 

Comment: This may be grammatically correct in French, but in English, if you say that two people are ‘kissing themselves’, that would literally mean that each of them is kissing their OWN bodies (or parts of), And of course, this would be bizarre. 

Why is this sentence knocked into the subjunctive?

Selon une étude menée - why is it 'menée' and not 'a mené' ? I'm confused, is it to do with the passive voice? And also why can't I use 'd'après' to mean 'according to'?

My understanding of "être" in passé composé is that it's supposed to be used for reflexive verbs. If this were true, then "je suis allée" would imply, in the present tense "je me vais", which isn't correct. Could someone explain this?

Do these get graded or reviewed by someone to make sure we are writing properly?

What is the difference between "il semble que" and "il paraît que" in terms of usage?

Hi! 

For "Je me fais appeler" what does the "fais" mean? What are you doing/making to your name??

Thanks :)
