Bonjour. Merci pour cette histoire incroyable!

J'ai une question sur l'histoire. Quel âge a le garçon? Est-il vraiment jeune?

French for "rifle" is "fusil", while "shotgun" is "fusil de chasse". This suggests the core French word "fusil" means something less specific than "rifle", which in English refers to the spiraled "rifling" along the inside of the barrel, which a shotgun lacks.

However, the Italian word "fusile" can mean either "rifle" or "shotgun", yet also spiral-shaped pasta, despite a shotgun lacking this.

Can anyone explain, s'il vous plait ?

In a test I was asked to write: Patrick feels bad in this moment. I wrote Patrick se sens mal en ce moment. I was wrong because the answer was Patrick va mal... But is se sens not also correct?

i want to know why " geler"in le futur simple is  "gèlera", rather than "gellera"

Hello,

In the sentence 'il y avait de petites huttes aux fenêtres desquelles de minuscules visages hirsutes avaient l'air préoccupé.'

 Is it possible to replace desquelles with dont?

I'm having trouble understanding when to use stress pronouns vs. indirect object pronouns.  The sentence "quand un inconnu s'approchait de moi":  Why would this not be "quand un inconnu m'approchait"?  Would it be different if the verb wasn't reflexive?  

The corrected answer is said to be: Ils l'ont arrêtée pour ___s’être déshabillée____ en public.

Please explain why it isn’t ”déshabillés”

Wouldn't ramener be a better verb that rentrer?  Or at least it seems to me.  And as an English speaker, no one would say that they "put back" a car into a garage.

Je recherche l'accord de la genre et nombre de la participe passé surtout avec l'auxiliaire verbe avoir dans un autre mots le complément objet direct et indirect de l'auxiliaire verbe avoir à la participe passé
