Question word + est-ce-que :Mes amis français m'ont dit que cette forme est incorrecte, que "est-ce-que tu vas à... " est juste, mais pas "où est-ce-que tu vas". Qu'en pensez-vous ?

When would you use << faire >> as compared to other verbs? For example, "I am making a cake" as compared to "I am baking a cake". I guess I'm asking whether it's safe to substitute << faire >> for other French verbs that I haven't learnt if in English the verb can be replaced with "doing" or "making".

Why not include the meanings of "vase" as they change according to gender? La vase is mud, whereas le vase is a vase.
