What is the difference between personne and quelq'un: I thought it is correct to say personne for anyone in  positive question form!

je pense qu'elles auraient éclipsé les chanteurs.

Pourquoi le mot « éclipsé » n'est pas pluriel ? Should it not agrée with the dances?

se fait faire

pourquoi on dit

Je me suis fait faire les ongles la semaine dernière.I had my nails done last week.

Mais  pour "I had my hair brushed."

On dit "Je me suis fait brosser les cheveux," et pas "Je me suis fait faire brosser les cheveux." ?  merci

Here it s again... your answer is wrong

#1 is your answer, which does not have the apostrophe between "qui and il". You said this was correct.  My answer #2 has the appropriate contraction "qu'il est", but you marked it wrong. Why?

La       #1   La femme avec qui il est marié est très belle.   #2La femme avec qu'il est marié est très belle.

pour vs à

"Elle prendra l'avion à New York, puis fera une escale à Paris avant de prendre un autre vol pour Montpellier."

Why is it "prendra l'avion à New York" but "pour" for "prendre un autre vol pour Montpellier"? Is there a reason it can't be "à Montpellier"?

Fait invariable in past, reflexive causative constructions ?

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

Nous allons

So if I write "Nous allons a le centre commerciale" We are going to the mall. That sentence is correct?
