Le héros?I just realized that it's un héro but le héros. Is there a reason for that? Are there any other nouns that have different spellings for the same gender going from un to le? Thanks.

La pile vs la batterie

La pile and la batterie are both translations for a battery. Is the distinction that la batterie can be charged and is built-in to devices like a cell phone, and la pile is the round object that's used, for example, in a flashlight. It can not be charged, and needs to be replaced when it dies.

nous nous sommes brosséI'm confused this is a reflexive verb, so uses etre, and with a plural subject. So why is it not "nous nous sommes brosséS"?
