Would someone please explain to me why you would write "Je me brosse les dents deux fois par jour." in stead of "Je me brosse mes dents ..." I'm uncertain why you couldn't use mes even though you're also using the reflexive verb. Merci!

As English being  my mother tongue, I believe the word fertile should be futile!

Entres - y

Is the negative n'y entre pas or n'y entres pas .... Does the s drop or not ?

I’m sorry if this is a technical question, but I can’t see where else to ask it! The writing exercises are taxing but very rich in information, especially in the multiple alternative answers. It’s quite frustrating that if you don’t note these down at the time (or scroll back through the exercise right away) there isn’t a way of retrieving them without repeating the whole exercise. Maybe that is intended? The links to the grammar points are well covered but do not actually include the quite wide range of vocabulary and idiomatic expressions, ie the different ways of translating the same thing. 

Is it a rule to remove the definite article 'le' in Superlatives while using Possessive Adjectives?

Baptiste est mon pire ennemi.

and not 'le pire' / 'le plus mauvais' ennemi?

Or 'Il est mon meilleur ami.' - even though 'le meilleur' is not used, it is implied with Possessive Adjectives?

How would you say Marc didn't watch it?  What is the order of the object pronouns in passé composé when the sentence is negative?

This sentence was considered correct:  

Tu es apparue comme un ange.

But that doesn't that assume we know that the subject is female?  If we don't know, why isn't it Tu es apparu comme un ange.

Pourquoi pas, "qui ne nous effraie/effraye pas du tout" ?

How do I remember the where adverbs come either after or before the verb.

Just to be sure. Negation also requires masculine form, am I right ?

La jupe coûte 30€. - Ce n'est pas cher !
