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.

Du pain

Why is it "Il achète du pain"? I think bread is countable so it should be "Il achète des pains"

Translation of 'chestnut'

Bonjour,

Why is 'marron' (as opposed to 'châtaigne') unacceptable as a translation for 'chestnut'?

Tout à l'heure

The rule concerning agreement of "tout" in different situations confuses me. Why isn't it written "toute à l'heure" so that tout agrees with the gender of l'heure? Thanks.

I found this explanation in Le Figaro but it does not explain why there is no agreement: https://www.lefigaro.fr/langue-francaise/expressions-francaises/2019/01/23/37003-20190123ARTFIG00047--toute-a-l-heure-ne-faites-plus-la-faute.php

Why "les dents" and not "mes dents"?

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."
