agreement of reflexive verbs

Can anyone refer me to the lesson as to why "je me suis brossé les dents" brossé has no extra e and the speaker is a woman. Has to do with "les dents" being the direct object, I think, but would love to read the lesson.

Avoir vs Prendre

This question relates to the use of avoir vs prendre in one of the test questions for the subjonctif linked to this forum.

Question: "Ils n'auront pas de dessert à moins qu'ils ne fassent leurs lits".

I thought when talking about having a meal or a drink etc. the verb "prendre" was used - not avoir?

Gros vs Grand

It says here that 'my nose is small but their noses are big' is translated to 'Mon nez est petit, mais leurs nez sont gros' . Is there a certain reason why it is "gros" isntead of "grand" ? Or is it just an optional thing?

C'est à moiI seem to remember another lesson that talked about the the sort of construction above. Something like Whose suitcase is this? (French translation appreciated)- C'est a moi. = It's mine. I have trouble remembering the "names" of the different types of pronouns. Would it be possible to add a link to the lesson that discussed à moi, à toi, etc. ?
