Can we say nous faisons un gâteau???/

Vous faites un gâteau !!!?

Correct ??

“Quel plaisir de recevoir DE tes nouvelles” and “J’espère recevoir DE tes nouvelles”. When do you need to add the “de” after “recevoir”?  Does it depend on the noun, in this case “tes nouvelles”? Because it seems other nouns can follow this verb without a preposition e.g. “Quel plaisir de recevoir ton cadeau” and “J’espère recevoir une lettre”.  

I knew that making it imperfect and adding the "à" didn’t make sense but…. Too funny  

Is that pronunciation common?

Thanks, K

In an earlier lesson, we learned that for normal verbs, inversion is usually too formal. People usually say the sentence with an upward inflection or use Est-ce que.

Is that not so in the case of reflexive verbs?

had a variation after the comparative that was not exampled in the lesson.

...celui de son frère.

...celle de ce restaurant.

Could the celui de, celle de, be omitted and express the exact same ideas?

Will the inclusion of these demonstrative pronouns and adjectives be part of a future lesson?

Do we use "se coucher" with "the sun sets at 9" as in "Le soleil se couche à 9h"? If so, may be worth mentioning in the lesson.
