To get dressed is “s’habiller”

How would you say “to get dressed IN” (for example I get dressed in my uniform)

Thanks!

If I were to say: I spend my holidays relaxing, would the translation be “j’ai passé mes vacances” “en relaxant” or “à relaxer”?

Thanks!

What are cucurbitaces?  The translation gives the same word and I can't find it in my dictionary.  Thank you!

Bonjour,

I was doing this sentence and since there are two verbs croire and aller I know that you look at the second verb which is aller to determine whether to use peux or puisse and aller is Subjonctif so you use the puisse am I correct?

Maman, papa , croyez- vous que je_____ aller seule au concert samedi sour. 

how to pronounce a word in french?

I'm not sure how this is supposed to work.  Am I supposed to try and read aloud along with it or just listen to it?  And somehow, if I hit the pause button in not exactly the same place, I get 2 voices reading at the same time.  And it doesn't rewind? I just have to listen straight through?

I used posé in "et j'y ai placé les tranches de pomme" and it says it is wrong. What is the difference between the verbs poser and placer? 

I was taught (in both English-taught French classes and by French-speaking people) that the use of 'on' for 'we' was very colloquial and borderline bad grammar. I was baffled by the construction of the sentence using 'we' in English. I'm annoyed to be classified as 'lower intermediate' when I am considerably more advanced than that, even if I'm out of practice. I need to practice, but won't get much if I'm getting questions at this level and being challenged only by a confusing usage.
