Hello why is there a "de" between oublier and t'appeler?

I often see a "de" in sentences whose placement I can't really understand. I would like to know if there is a rule for this.

Une nouvelle leçon ! je l’aime bien.  J'ai une question.  Est-ce possible de changer l’ordre de mots dans une telle façon ? Au lieu de dire « qui dort le moins », on peut dire « qui le moins dort « ?  J’ai constaté que l’ordre de mots dans les cas similaires est parfois l’inverse que l’anglais.  Je ne sais pas si c’est possible dans ce cas.  Merci d’avance et bonne journée.

I still don't understand whey, "Qu'est-ce que le fois gras," Is not an acceptable way of saying "What is?" QUE (what) est-ce (is it) le fois gras.

Why is it any less acceptable than "Qu'est-ce que c'est que" The explanations just don't make sense to me. Could you clarify?

Salut,

How to say "I am Russian"? in masculine and feminine form?

Why must I transat 'as if I pas 21 again' as 'si j'avais à nouveau 21 ans' and not 'si j'avais encore 21 ans'?

I had to resort to my dictionary as this was not clear which type of mould was meant.

A shape as opposed to a fungus as in going mouldy.

Hi... I was wondering why i have to put Je viens de + (city) instead of Je Viens à + (City) ? like J'habite à Paris.. Isn't it for city i have to put à ?

I use Word Reference as my bilingual dictionary.  Here's their note on the two spellings.  Note: "ass(e)oir" and "rass(e)oir" have two conjugations. The conjugated forms with an "e" are more common than those with an "o".
