Nous ne nous sommes pas couchés hier soir

I’m having real difficulty pronouncing this sentence  and I’m wondering whether in conversation the « ne » is dropped to ease pronunciation.

The Doll's HouseJe sais que c'est un site d'apprentissage en français, mais "doll house" ne sonne tout simplement pas bien. "Doll house" a probablement ses origines en Amérique. Nous ne dirions jamais "a girl room" au lieu de "a girl’s room". En fait, cela semble pire que leur orthographe "math" et non "maths". L'apostrophe est essentielle, “ the doll’s house”. C'est mon anniversaire dans deux semaines et si vous pouviez remplacer "doll house" par "doll’s house", ce serait le meilleur cadeau d'anniversaire de tour les temps.

I go to work ?

How can “I cycle to work” become “I am going to work” (near future) by bike.   That would be if he is a courrier.  Shouldn’t it be « je vais au travaille » ?   And I thought that by bike would be à vélo.

to comb or to paint

ils peignent leurs cheveux, ils peignent un tableau. Are these different verbs with a double meaing?  To comb and to paint.

Construction correct?

Bonjour!

Is the below sentence correct in terms of usage of que/qui vs ce que/ce qui?

Je m’assieds dans une chaise sur le balcon qu'est attaché à mon appartement.  

For some reason the "qu'est" doesn't look right to me but i dont know why.  If any other errors, appreciate the correction on those as well.

Merci d'avance!

So French doesn't have " should have, " it has " I've had to + verb. " Maybe this should be mentioned in the lesson, because once you read the French sentences as " I've had to " etc, it makes it a lot easier.
