des vs les (retry)From a recent writing challenge: "It was an excellent exhibition, and she was even able to taste local specialties!" "c'était une exposition magnificent et elle a même pu goûter LES spécialités locales !" I had expected DES rather than LES here, would you please explain?

m'endormeMa mère me berçait dans ses bras jusqu'à ce que je m'endorme. This sentence confuses me. What tense is m'endorme? Is that present tense? Why is it present tense here? Shouldn't it be l'imparfait as well? Merci.

"... calls to mind ..."The "Il rappelle son ex à Maria" construction is like the formal English "calls to mind". Here, "He calls to mind her ex to Maria". (That would be bad English, but it's how I remember the word order.)

ExercisesFor conjugations like these verbs, I wish you have some exercises on the page for us to do. It's almost impossible to remember these conjugations just by reading through them.

Dictionary That Shows Regular VerbsHi, does anyone know of a French-English dictionary that gives the definition of a verb but also states if it is regular or not? I am trying to put together some vocab on the Anki Flash card app and I think it would be useful to know which verbs are regular and so easier to learn. I've seen the lessons on the irregularities of verbs with E(x)ER etc. but was thinking if I could do with it being written down somewhere. Thanks, Rich
