Reflexive in the future

Hello...for the future with reflexive verbs, can we say - tu vas te faire couper les cheveux, nous allons nous faire faire les ongles etc?

How about:

Tu te feras couper les cheveux...? You are will have your hair cut....? Does that work?

Merci beaucoup!

Why do you not add an s to retourné when you say - vous y êtes retourné?I thought that when you use être the pp always agrees with the subject.

When would you use the masculine form of a pronoun for a feminine nounwould you use pronouns ending in 'n' (mon, ton, son) for nouns that begin with vowel or silent h? In doing a recent quiz for the noun 'petite amie' a 'sa' was used... should son have been used instead?

Cette pomme est bonne. - Oui, c'est bon.

I got this question:

Cette pomme est bonne. - Oui, c'est _______.

I answered bon because I knew to use the masculine, but my question is why it's c'est in this case. I've read the relevant pages ("C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French and Standalone adjectives after c'est are always masculine) and my interpretation is that this would fall under 2b of "C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French:

il est/elle est for statements and opinions related to specific things.

Bad hint?In today's A2 writing exercise: https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/my-languages/french/exercises/overview/160?utm_source=blk&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=msg_448551You give the hint: Use "faire la connaissance de" = to get acquainted with. But it is counted wrong. I wrote "et ses griffes ont deja fait la connaissance de notre canape. And "la" and "de" are crossed out and "de" replaced with "avec". -- Either the hint is wrong, our the correction is wrong. N'est-ce pas?

Ma voiture ancienne I wrote: "I believe ma voiture ancienne" means my OLD car and NOT my former car, but was got the answer marked wrong and said it was my "former car". There's a glitch here with the marking of this question surely???

il y a une semaine, j'ai vu un film. Is this the typical way of saying this. In English, we would typically reverse the order-I saw a film a week ago
