French language Q&A Forum

It is not that I don't trust my French teacher but she gave us some homework and I am not sure I know which is the right construction when utilizing the correct pronouns and in which position within a sentence. The first one is this:

Elle a acheté un paquet de cigarettes pour son père.

For replacing " de cigarettes pour son père" with appropriate pronouns, could it be one or both that could be employed:

1. Elle a acheté pour lui.

or

2. Elle lui a achetè.

The second sentence drove me nuts because there are three verbs within this sentence thus I am not sure where to insert the pronoun:

Je me suis fait couper les cheveux.

1. Je me les suis fait couper, or

2. Je me suis les fait couper, or

3. Je me suis fait les couper?

Ce sujet est très difficile!

Thanks,

Hello. Is there a difference between using des and les in the above expression? Faire les courses was marked wrong in this exercise.

Réponse: le

Please can you explain why the answer is not "y" because the normal expression is "penser à qqch" and therefore it would seem that the answer should effectively be "tout le monde pense à le" or, using s preposition,  "tout le monde y pense"?

'I find this couple magnificent."  My answer was "je trouve ce couple magnifique."  It was corrected:

je trouve ce couple magnigfique. 

That does not seem right to me, according to the lesson.

Pardon for asking, but it states 'Elizabeth deux vient en France' in one of the Minikwizes for this lesson. I'm assuming she WENT to France, not came from [ in ? ] France. It makes no sense to me, but, to be honest, I had to do the country preposition lessons so many times it wasn't even funny. Perhaps I am being stupid, or perhaps I am just railing against my own inadequacies, but, To you I pose this question good sir or madame.

Why is the letter "l" of the verb s'appeler doubled in all persons but the first and second plural?
