Elle a dû oublier de t'appeler. Why is there a "de" between oublier and t'appeler?Elle a dû oublier de t'appeler.

Hello why is there a "de" between oublier and t'appeler?

I often see a "de" in sentences whose placement I can't really understand. I would like to know if there is a rule for this.

Brain Map for Premium UsersBrain Map is not responsive to gestures in revealing more information (other than color codes) when used on an iPad with most current iOS with Safari as the browser. Thank you in advance as the feature is quite extraordinary if it will provide detailed analysis as the tutorial demonstrates. PS Are there plans to release kwiziq as an app (currently available only in a browser) and a "native speaker" segment as used in some other language apps?

Can these sentences also be translated as ought?e.g. Je devrais apprendre le français = i should or ought to learn french? In English ought is stronger than should, but in french, how would you distinguish them if at all?

plural or singular verb

I believe there is an error in the sentence: "mais la majorite des parents inscrivent leurs enfants.

La majority is singular, hence the verb should be "inscrit"

Right?
