What are the situations in which we add « de » like this? Is it a general rule for talking about rates? 

Thanks!

As an avid English speaker, I struggle with pronunciation when learning French, any recommendations? Royce Bandora, NYC 

Puis-je avoir    why not apostrophe j' ?

If s'inscrire (to register oneself)  uses être as it's a reflexive verb, then why do we say "Le mois dernier, nous avons inscrit Thomas au judo" and not "Le mois dernier, nous sommes inscrits Thomas au judo" ?

Hi,

I read from a text book that I use (Inspire B1) and it says to conjugate Je/Tu/Il/Elle/On/Ils/Elles we do as what is described in this lesson.

However, for "Nous" and "Vous", the general rule is that we take the "Présent" form of "Vous", remove the "ez" ending and replace it with "ions" and "iez". I check with verbs such as "Prendre" and "Mouvoir" and it is correct.

Can anyone verify this ?  

The lesson said that y replaces [à+ thing], and that an indirect pronoun replaces  [à + person]. 

The question was "Il pense à sa famille. Elle....pense aussi."  'Famille' is people, so why is the answer given as 'y' and not 'leur'?
