Could someone explain how I can create sentences with this statement below? 

In French you can also use the expression faire plaisir à [quelqu'un] to say to please [someone], to make [someone] happy

Thank you very much !

Le lac, so The lake, not A lake

Merci pour tous les exemples, mais le rap "maison d'être" contient des prononciations qui diffèrent beaucoup du français standard. Je veux bien exposer les étudiants à des accents differents, mais dans ce cas, c'est exaggéré. 

I know il/elle are pronouns - which stands in for a noun. So, if you are referring to a specific noun, then you use the pronoun: "où est mon frère? Il est dans sa chambre."  However, "ce" is a demonstrative adjective. Maybe, c'est is an abbreviated way of saying "this thing/person is... So "C'est mon frère" is like saying "This (person) is my brother." I don't know if this way of thinking will work for all examples, but I hope I am on the right track. 

when the next word starts w a vowel, is there a specific reason why the s of the conjugated verb is not pronounced?

i am confused by how vaisselle was pronounced

i thought that double ls always made a y sound like in fille, pronounced “feeye”

why do i not pronounce s in tu vas au travaille :(

how would i translate smth like “I love my mother, but I don’t like her.” thankd

i took a test and it was like “anne aime beaucoup john” or smth like that and i translated it to anne really loves john and it told me it was wrong and that it’s anne really likes john.

so i was like ok maybe the site wants literal and not used translations so i came to the lesson and it says that aime means love for a person :( now i have to retake the rest i am so sad pls help :(
