Pronoms PersonnelsIt 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,

Can someone help? I learnt what I thought was a beautiful French expression with 'comprendre' which meant basically "I am confused". It woud be in a form like "I am confused please explain it to me more".. with the verb comprendre.
This lesson reminded me of it but I cannot recall the precise syntax now! Anyone? Thanks!
I don't think there's any way one could know them unless they had already been taught to the learner. I found it a bit unfair, but I suppose the grading is subjective and as long as one learns something, who cares.
Are the baby names inherently masculine, or do they have female counterparts too, such as un chiot --> une chiotte; un chaton --> une chatonne etc?
Why does the example of manquer have this example: “Jacques a raté son train”?
Il est après-midi
or
c'est après-midi
The correct spelling of connaitrais, should be connaîtrais, yes?
