Allez tout le mondeIf tout le monde is considered singular when conjugating verbs, is " allez tout le monde" correct ? I have seen this written in a French text.

Can you use aucun/aucune to shorten these sentences? Especially, if you are saing "neither". Could you use aucun/aucune with "ne" in front fo the verb: J'ai appelé Paul et Hadrien, mais aucun (or personne) n'a répondu." (I'm thinking now that aucun is about things not people? So, what about personne?)

J'ai su que tu étais venu me voir? I found out that you had come to see me.Is this a usual way to say I found out. Why is the verb trouver or perhaps découvrir not used?

"Ce n'est pas un problème" ?

In one of the test the question is:

"Désolé, j'ai oublié mon argent. - Oh, ________." Sorry, I forgot my money. -Oh, it's not a problem.

The correct answer given was «Ça ne fait rien.»

Why couldn't i say "Ce n'est pas un problème" ?

haïr vs détesterWhat is the difference between haïr and détester? Couldn't I just as easily say Je te déteste and so on? Is one "stronger" than the other.

Shouldn't it be 'brossée'?

The woman is describing the terrible hotel and at one point says "... et après que je me suis brossé les dents le premier soir ...". Shouldn't it actually be "je me suis brossée les dents" since it's the woman talking? I wrote brossée during the test and kwizbot marked it as incorrect.

thanks, Scott

What if the part after "depuis" requires l'imparfait or passé composé?Such as "Je joue du piano depuis j'avais six ans." Would it be more grammatically accurate to say, "Je joue du piano depuis l'âge de six ans."?
