Write "We play cards." : Nous ________ cartes .jouons aux

"Nous jouons aux cartes" could mean we are playing cards or refer to a specif time they play cards.

Could one say " Nous faisons des cartes" in answer to a general question about whether or not a family or group know how to play cards? They coud actually be learning to play bridge for example.

Piscine vs. bain vs. bassin

Quand est-ce qu'on utilise 'bain' ou 'bassin', au lieu de 'piscine'? Il semble que 'piscine' n'est pas correct dans certains cas. Pourriez-vous m'expliquer ça, s'il vous plaît?

Merci.

ait vs soitI don't understand why "for fear there will be a gas leak" uses "ait" instead of "soit" -- what's the general rule? I know a person "has" hunger or thirst but in this case there's no person involved...
