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.

Qui est-ce qui or qui est-ce que?I'm confused on when to use 'qui est-ce qui or qui est-ce que at the beginning of a sentence'. In each case the translation was 'who did such and such'.One or the other have been given as a correct answer but I haven't worked out which one for which circumstance. What is the rule please.

ajoute v rajoute

Could you please explain the difference in meaning between ajoute and rajoute, according to Collins On Line Dictionary they both mean the same thing. Here are the 2 answers from the exercise: -

À la fin, elle rajoute de la cannelle.' 'A la fin, elle ajoute de la cannelle.'

ALSO in the two sentences, one of them has A and the other has À. Is this an error? If not please explain why both are correct.

Pire or plus mauvais?I don't think the examples given have explained the difference between these two forms. I think I read somewhere that pire was more for abstract things. Is this right? What is the difference between an accent and results?

Why is it «mal au coeur» instead of «je me sens nauséeuse»? Doesn't «mal au coeur» mean heartache?
