To translate "Coco Chanel became very popular 'by freeing' women from the corset", they used en libérant while I used par libérer because I thought en libérant would mean "while liberating" vs the "by liberating" they asked for.  Am I wrong? Thats what I thought I understood from other examples in the past.

Bonjour Madame,

In the English audio for this lesson, the speaker says ‘sad’ instead of ‘proud’. Please amend it.

Bonne journée !

Bonjour Madame,

In this quiz , there is a sentence as "surtout quand elle détache ses longs cheveux roux."

Here, I am puzzled as to why possessive adjective is used with a body part but there is a lesson which contradicts by advising to use definite articles. Is this an exception ?

Secondly, why is 'roux' used for red ? Why not "rouges" ?

Bonne journée !

I found this sentence interesting:

Nous n'avons acheté aucune voiture.

Don't both parts of a negation (ne + plus/jamais/que/etc) usually go before the participle?

I'm reading an example using merci de with an action already done. It says to use Merci de + [Infinitif Passé] and gives the following example:

C'était très difficile, merci de m'avoir aidée.

Please, can you explain why aidée is feminine?
