pronunciation of je courrais, je courais, je courrai

Is there any difference in pronunciation between "je courrai" (le futur), "je courais" (l'imparfait) and "je courrais" (le conditionel) ? Thanks.

how do pronominal verbs work?I have no problems with "se laver" or "se promener" - these are things you're doing to yourself. But "s'attaquer", "se moquer", "s'écrier" (attacking, making fun of, crying at) ? Those are done to others, so why are they pronominal?

amener vs emmener

In the sentence "C'est la dernière fois que je t'amène avec moi !" Would "emmener" (= to take a person) be a better choice of verb?

Dictionary That Shows Regular VerbsHi, does anyone know of a French-English dictionary that gives the definition of a verb but also states if it is regular or not? I am trying to put together some vocab on the Anki Flash card app and I think it would be useful to know which verbs are regular and so easier to learn. I've seen the lessons on the irregularities of verbs with E(x)ER etc. but was thinking if I could do with it being written down somewhere. Thanks, Rich

About it - "y"?

She'd been dreaming about it forever.

The correct answer was "Elle en rêvait depuis toujours." Why wouldn't this be "Elle y rêvait depuis toujours?

Wouldn't the words "about it"require "y"and "of it" - en?
