Est-ce qu’il y a une différence entre le docteur et le médecin?
The example verbs in the lesson (se lever) and most of the ones presented in the tests (se coucher, se laver, se réveiller) all follow the same pattern-- in that the action is done on/to the subject or the subject own body. However, with the verb se moquer the action is done to someone else and requires the use of "de".
It's unclear why one wouldn't say "Ils me moquent" instead of "Ils se moque de moi". Can some explain this a bit?
I am not sure what gender is "centre"?
Why can't we use "fait le natation" as a translation for "my sister goes swimming every saturday"? In another lesson it talks about how fait le natation is for regular swimming or team.
I noticed in the exercise "droite" was used for direction to the right, but "tout droit" is masculine for "straight ahead. Why the difference?
Why is it "Je me brosse LES dents" instead of "MES dents"? If they are MY teeth, why not "mes dents"? Or, if maybe I have a child I'm teaching good dental hygiene, "Je te brosse tes dents."
