Hi, Do you have a list of verbs that are followed by à and de? And is there a simple way to remember which is the right preposition to be used post which verb?

The English sentence says "She can sing", not "She knows how to sing". I know how to sing but I can't sing because my voice is terrible. Can all French people (or Quebecoise) who know how to sing, actually sing???

Why is there a 'le' between 'tu' and veuilles in this sentence 'C'est comme ça, que tu le veuilles ou pas' instead of just que tu veuilles.

I spent a good couple of minutes trying to figure out what she was saying in the middle. I ended up submitting "Il fait trop chaud bon sauce bolognaise!" "Pour une" obviously makes more sense, but did anyone else have trouble making out those two words? It certainly sounded like "bon" to me.

Could you please clarify if these go before or after a noun - 

1. Fou/Fol/Folle (crazy)

2. Mou/Mol/Molle (soft)

3. Mince (slim/thin - opposite of gros/grosse)

4. Court/Courte (short - opposite of long/longue)

5. Mignon/Mignonne (cute)

6. Bas/Basse (low - opposite of haut/haute) 

So why is it that 1e, 2e, 3e, is only used for ranks / positions and never for dates.. (except 1st/ 1e i think?)
