étudient et enseignant

Hi, I was wondering why the words 'étudient' et 'enseignant' were not accepted for 'student' and 'teacher'.

Merci!

learning French language or learning how to use a computerSince I am «old school» and did not grow up with computers, I am always curious if the online educational sites are for the purpose of simply getting people to learn to use a computer correctly or if they are for the purpose of learning the subject matter presented. To that goal, is this a user group to learn the French language or to learn the computer usage with the French language as the medium? I hope someone can/will answer this.

I've been told that if the town/city begins with a vowel the 'à' changes to 'en'. Is that right?

Is "avoir à" a possible alternative to "devoir"

Is avoir à a possible alternative to devoir?

Can avoir à ever be used instead of devoir? For example j'ai à vous remercier instead of je dois vous remercier.

Le Conditionnel Passé

The lesson contains no statement on how le conditional passé is formed, leaving the student to infer the rule from examples alone. I don't find that a great way to learn. Looking at some of the Q&A on this lesson from others it seems I'm not alone.

Pronunciation of “er” versus “ère” changes with number of syllables?

Is it a fair assumption that all monosyllabic adjectives ending in “er” are pronounced the same when converted to the feminine “ère” ending? “Cher”and “chère”, for example? Whereas multi syllable “er” adjectives must change pronunciation in the feminine? “Dernier” versus “dernière”?

I always assumed that the accent grave was added to certain words to change the stress and pronunciation. If so, why is the accent grave added to words like “Cher” in the feminine if the pronunciation does not change?

Does this question make sense?

Thank you!

Mathilde a rentré la voiture avant qu'il ne pleuveI feel like I have learned this lesson before but for the life of me I can't remember why "ne" doesn't have a negative meaning here. Is there a lesson associated with it? Thank you.

Subjonctif?J'avais l'impression que lorsque on utilise "penser" et "croire" en posant une question, le subjonctif doit être employé. Ai-je tort?

In the sentence J'espère ne pas faire d'erreurs, can't we say instead: J'espère DE ne pas faire d'erreurs?
