HI,

I was wondering I took the test and the question asked me if je suis professeur is Leon or Marie and I put Leon cause it's a masc ending but was marked wrong? Then the next question was  je suis acteur and select Michael or Catherine or both of them and when I chose both of them it was marked wrong and said I should have picked Michael! 

  So why is the word acteur marked for masculine but the professeur is not?

Thanks

Nicole

Hi, could you please explain the difference in using y/là/là-bas

For example, 

I'm going to the beach tonight

Je vais y aller ce soir 

Je vais aller là ce soir 

Je vais aller là-bas ce soir 

Is there a difference in these phrases?

What is the difference between "ma tête me fait mal" y 

"la tête me fait mal". They seem the same to me.
