ressentir and sentirIn the phrase "quand j'ai senti/ressenti une douleur", is there any difference or preference between the verbs sentir and ressentir? And later in the passage could she have said "je me ressentais un peu mieux" or do you always use se sentir in that case?

Is date masculine or feminine?

If we express dates as masculine (le 30 novembre), why do we ask Quelle est la date with feminine articles?

Commencer à faire ou commencer de faire

Hi,

There are lists of verbs that take à or de before an infinitive and commencer is on both lists. Can you explain when to use which construction? Thanks.
