Why does repondre keep the d in the present tense when prendre loses it and yet they are supposed to follow the same rule as irregulars?

For 'Je me suis cassé la jambe' 

Why does it use suis and not J'ai, as its passe compose?

Bonjour 

Can we use il est né le dimanche 

Il est né un dimanche 

Which one is correct? And why?

Hello kwiziq team,

Why is “Une histoire très interéssante” correct?   très being a single syllable adverb  shouldn’t it be “ une très intéressante histoire” ?

What is wrong with tu es Anglaise instead of tu es anglaise

Why not simply : J’ai peur qu’il soit à l’heure ? Why is « ne » necessary ?  

One of the quiz questions was "Le Comte Dracula habite _____________ Roumanie.

I wrote "en la" because I assumed, per the regular rule, that Romania is feminine (therefore takes -en) and is a country, not a city, and would require the article "la".  Since the sentence is not about going-to or coming/being-from, it would require the article, n'est-ce pas?

I completed this B1 dictée without a mistake--the first time I've been able to do this on any dictée at this level!  I think it really helps to have the vocabulary listed in French at the beginning--it can be difficult to choose among different options on the translation sites.  Also, the reader has a nice, clear voice.  Thanks for all you do to make learning French so satisfying!

could you please explain why des. Is this because there is a plural form??
