I'm a bit confused as to whether to use Tout le monde as a singular or plural word:

"Tout le monde va dormir"

"Tout le monde vont dormir"

Aime bien vs. AdorerI don't understand when to use aime bien vs. adorer. She likes sweets very much was marked wrong when I picked Elle aime bien les bonbons, but there is some subtle nuance for why that should be adore instead, I just do not see it in the lesson

"à moi" ou "de moi" ?

Bonjour tout le monde!

Je suis perdue par rapport à ce sujet.

Il y a quelques années une personne française m'a corrigé. On ne dit pas "à moi", on dit "de moi". Je sais que la manière la plus populaire est la première (et, normalement, c'est cela que j'utilise), mais je vais présenter un examen et je ne sais pas laquelle est correcte !

Voici un liens qui supporte cette déclaration:

MERCI BEAUCOUP !

Vas-yVous avez dit que pour les verbes 'er', ils perdent la 's', mais j'entends tout le temps 'vas-y'. C'est une erreur, ou c'est quelque chose de normal? Merci

Greetings!

I don’t get why “her” is sometimes elle and sometimes lui. Can someone explain.

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.

Naître in the present and past tensesOne of the test questions for this lesson is: Zoë est née avant Lèo. Zoë is born before Léo. Is this past tense translation correct because the speaker is necessarily speaking about a past event? Could we use the present tense here?

depuis and ImparfaitI came across a sentence in a book where "depuis" was used along with the imparfait - can maybe you please confirm if it was used correctly? "Comme je ne faisais pas de bruit depuis un moment, maman est venue voir ce qui se passait." Merci d'avance!
