I notice that all of the examples here have cues in them to indicate repetitive action. What if the sentence does not contain such cues? Should it be interpreted as continuous action or repetitive action?

e.g. Je faisais du sport.

Without any cues would that mean “I was playing sports” or “I used to play sports” or is it equally ambiguous?

I can use the word(  professeur) as masculine and feminine.

When this command is negated, it becomes "Ne vous dépêchez pas ! (or ne te dépêche pas). I could not understand the rationale for this structure by reading the current lesson.  I am guessing the reason may be because, nous, vous,  and te are pronouns and so surrounded together with the verb by ne and negative word. Clarification would be greatly appreciated.

In the lesson "Using le, la, les with body parts and clothing (definite articles)", the definite article is used instead of the possessive.

One of the examples in that lesson:

Ils ont les yeux fermésThey have their eyes closed

Following that example, we'd come up with "Ils sucent encore le pouce" instead of "Ils sucent encore leur pouce".

Hello...for the future with reflexive verbs, can we say - tu vas te faire couper les cheveux, nous allons nous faire faire les ongles etc?

How about:

Tu te feras couper les cheveux...? You are will have your hair cut....? Does that work?

Merci beaucoup! 

The subject of the lesson says subjunctif présent always follows vouloir que. If the sentence is in the past "elle a voulu que"' what happens to the subjunctive? Is it really in the present "elle a voulu que le chien parte" or should the subjunctive past be used? "'elle a voulu que le chien soit parti."'
