Would you use faire exprès to mean deliberately as those seem synonymous in English?

apres avoir faitis the title of this a little misleading as most of the examples don't actually use faire?

About the explanation of "on"Hi guys! I find the page of Kwiziq very interesting. You explain " people shouldn't speak with their mouths full" : " on ne doit pas parler la bouche pleine" . Why is there not "avec" between " parler" et "la"? It doesn't seem like correct french grammar? Are there any misspelling here?Thanks a lot.

I find it difficult to know when soi versus soi-même is used.Sometimes when the english meaning is oneself, I reach for soi-même but the correct choice is sometimes soi. Any hints please?

Overuse of le futur antérieurI don't see any reason to strain for the futur antérieur when there is no change in subject. It sounds unnatural. Maybe I talk with the wrong French people.

Example soundsElles choisissent leurs robes. --> They're choosing their dresses. When I play the pronunciation for this phrase, it sounds like this: Elles choisissent sa robe. Is it possible that is what is being said, en erreur? Merci.

Correct tense for "were welcomed" "The students were welcomed by the headteacher this morning." Why is this translated by the passé composé rather than the imperfect tense?
