I thought we weren't supposed to use ma, mon, mes for one's own body parts in French? Wasn't there a lesson on that?

Hello, I typed 'j'essaie' but it corrected to 'j'essaye'. However, under the 'you could also say' section, it said 'j'essaie' was correct. Thanks! 

One question I did not see addressed in the other submissions below is the difference between “aller à la piscine” and “aller dans le petit bassin”. I assume it is because, in the latter case, she is literally entering into the water of the pool, not just going to the oplace where the pool is located?

Thank you!

In this example why is the verb to be present?  Elle est assise au coin de la cheminée.

Hello, Thank you for clarifying the difference between Égal vs Égale. 

So does this mean égal is only used as a symbol?

I see above both used in a sentence. e.g. Deux plus deux égale / égal quatre. 

Thank you to clarify.
