In the sentence "il suffit d’observer ce que font les autres et les imiter," why have the verb (font) and the subject (les autres) swapped places? Shouldn't it be "il suffit d’observer ce que les autres font et les imiter"?

The sentence is taken from this text: "https://www.lawlessfrench.com/listening/bise-a-la-francaise/"

Thank you in advance. 

J'aime beaucoup cette idée de proposer des exercices pour nous aider à lire et à écouter le français. Mais serait-il possible d'ajouter aussi des questions ou un quiz pour aider les apprenants à consolider le nouveau vocabulaire? Par exemple, sur TV5Monde, il y a beaucoup d'exercices qui vérifient sa compréhension des textes. En faisant les exercices, on apprend beaucoup et on doit penser à la signification des mots et des expressions, ce qui est vraiment utile.

I was surprised to see my use of "cet après-midi" corrected to "cette après-midi". So I looked it up and found that both genders are used for that phrase.

Another who has fallen foul of the "Nous nous sommes brossé les cheveux" question. Please add the exception to the lesson.

Why not "etait ajoutee" 

So am I to assume that all pasta dishes [spaghetti has come up in other exercises] are considered countable and thus the "des", while bread is uncountable and thus the "du"?

I answered with the second one, and after much thought, not the first. I asked a french speaking friend and she said the first sounded odd and she would not use it, although she didn't think it was wrong. Can you provide some guidelines?

Thanks
