In the phrase "j'ai pris la petite creature dans mes bras et je l'ai ramenée chez elle"  you use the pronouns la and chez elle meaning it is a feminine dog.  In the beginning of the story you use the pronoun "un chien" meaning a masculine dog.  I am confused with the pronouns used to describe the dog.

Thank you,

Nancy 

Why is it des and not les?  Could you point me towards the lesson that explains this?

vraiment ou vraiement?  I think it is vraiment -

Can someone please explain the use of 'se doit' in the following sentence which conveys the meaning "ought to":

"qui se doit d'être à la fois élégant et extraordinaire" 

I can't find any reference anywhere to devoir in the pronominal form....or am I totally on the wrong track here with 'devoir' ?

I thought with occupations there was no article prior to the occupation. Je suis médecin, not je suis un medecin. Is this an exception?

Bonjour,

Shouldn't the phrase "meme si je sais que c'est le repas le plus important de la journee" be "meme si je sais qu'il est le repas le plus important de la journee" because we are referring to something specific? (breakfast)

Merci.

Curious why faire is used in this lesson, Give me a report right away, and not donner? Thanks. 

What does "durant" mean exactly in this sentence?  Why would it not be "durantes"?
