I am confused about how to say have and when it is used.  In English I use it to show  possession I have. I can also use it to ask for something I will have (asking for something as in food or object)  Can you help with my confusion.

when to use ce qui versus en to replace an entire phrase

"Il te faut de l'aide."

I'm struggling to understand why this is "you need help" rather than "you must help".

 I understand that Il faut can express a need but also a must - but I'm quite confused on how I can tell! 

The examples above are all in english, twice, with no french version.  What am I missing?

In "le causatif", consider the sentences :

Eva s'est fait laver les cheveux par sa soeur ;

Ils se sont fait piquer par des guêpes.

I know fait is invariable here, but I don't understand why it is, and not faite or faits (or faites)

Thanks

Hello, I put 'suis-tu' in the first sentence, as 'have you been following' is the present perfect continuous, but it was marked as wrong.  The answer in French, 'as-tu suivi', made it seem that the event was already in the past. Which is correct?

Thanks a lot.

I don't understand why we can't use the 

when there is no reference to a duration of time. For example "during that year the letters had been sent"??? This sentence seems like it was a one time action. ???

excusez-moi, does the word game in every vocab lesson cost kwquizz?

I'm wondering why mieux is used instead of meilleur when referring to organic ingredients in the statement, "There is nothing better to make the best tarts"?

As per the lesson that's linked on that page, I thought it would fall under "qualifying something as good/better/the best at what it does, i.e. efficient/practical, or good/better/the best in taste (food)".

Is it instead considered to be "making a general statement with être about something or someone being fine/OK/better/the best" ? It would be helpful if the lesson included "Il y a" in addition to être if so.

Thanks in advance for any clarification!
