prefix re as in rechercher, retrouver, Is there much difference between grouper & regrouper, chercher & rechercher, trouver&retrouver? The "re" prefix doesn't always seem to mean to redo as it would in english.

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?

Taille vs Pointure

Why did none of the answers for shoes size have the option pointure as a vocabulary choice? I thought you weren't supposed to use taille with shoe sizes.

Docteur and Médecin

Do they both mean the same thing? And if so, why does one of them change depending on whether you are a man or a woman, and one of them doesn't?

États-Unis

"For pronunciation reasons, you will use en with masculine countries starting with a vowel" yet États-Unis is using aux. Is that only because it is plural?
