I obseved that change of the indefinite article to de/d' is in sentences with the verb Avoir. With the exception of Etre does it apply to other verbs?

Nouveau can go after the noun, with a change of meaning, right?I chose "un vélo nouveau" as correct as well as "un nouveau vélo". I thought "un vélo nouveau" would mean a bicycle of a design that has just been invented.

Normally today we use "eight forty" as an example, is "huit quarante" acceptible, or "huit heure quarante"?

Cover your head ! Couvrez-vous-la! OR Couvrez-la-vous!

The verb used is “se couvrir” but would ‘la’ precede ‘vous’ ?

Is it that “vous” here is a Reflexive Pronoun ? If so , there is a lesson stating at Kwiziq that reflexive pronouns precede direct object pronouns -

Position of Double Pronouns in French - Reflexive Pronoun + Direct Object Pronoun

I suppose that here vous behaves like an indirect object pronoun. Is this the justification?

Madame, please guide how to figure this out .

Merci encore . Cordialement,

Shrey.

Penser with tonic/stressed pronounsI'm not sure that it is correct to use a stressed pronoun for the first and second persons with the verb penser.

Is it correct to write "Je te pense" or to write "je pense à toi" ?

I suspect that the former could be misunderstood that the indirect object pronoun "te" might represent the preposition "de" and therefore change the intended meaning?

I'm thinking that we only use the stressed / tonic pronouns with the third person?

Can someone clear this matter up for me, please?
