Question - He's having his make-up done.

(HINT: maquiller quelqu'un = to do someone's make-up)

Correct Answer - Il se fait maquiller

My Answer - Il s'est fait maquiller

Can someone explain this subtlety here?

Could you please explain why we use "J'ai toujours voulu visiter Paris" - and for example "Hier je voulais visiter le musee"?

What is the grammatical explanation please for the two different tenses?

Merci ! :)

How do I access the accents for French writing within Quizik?

I can't seem to make the accents work when I'm using the site. 

In the first line, Le pourquoi du comment translates to the whys and hows. Shouldnt le pourquoi du comment be "The why of the how". Please explain the difference between these things. Merci 

I learned that “N’est ce pas” is rarely used these days in France.  A simple “non?” is commonly used instead.   Is that false?

It seems to me in spoken French you can say "Personne ne s'interesse" (or maybe "personne s'interesse") but apparently that's incorrect and, when a group is mentioned beforehand, you have to say "Aucun(e)"?  If that is so, why is that?

What is the difference between "constater" and "remarquer" to say "to notice" something? My Canadian teacher always uses 'constater' in these cases.
