Do we also use and for horses, bicycles, and other smaller means of transport? Or only for transport we get inside of?

What is the difference between using "faillir" and "il s'en est fallu de peu que"?

For example, "J'ai failli le faire" vs "Il s'en est fallu de peu que je le fasse."

Nous ne nous sommes pas couchés hier soir

I’m having real difficulty pronouncing this sentence and I’m wondering whether in conversation the « ne » is dropped to ease pronunciation.

Tu étudiais chaque jour. You used to study each day.

Tu étudiais chaque jour.You used to study each day.

This cannot mean - you were studying each day? If not, how would I write that?

I thought that - Les oiseaux chantaient = The birds 'were' singing, not 'used to sing'...

I'm confused.

The correct kwiz answers indicate "Bien sûr qu'on se déteste!" translates to both "Of course we hate each other!" and "Of course we hate ourselves!"

These English translations have different meanings -- i.e., "I hate you and you hate me" versus "I hate myself and you hate yourself."

My question: does the French sentence also imply these two distinctly different meanings?
