I thought to "manage to" or "be able to" was "arriver à," "parvenir à" or "réussir à." 

Nevertheless, we've this sentence "Mais j'ai réussi du premier coup," featuring "réussir de" + le coup. Is that correct?

(Alice répondit, plutôt timidement, “Je-Je ne sais pas vraiment, Monsieur, en ce moment précis - tout du moins je sais qui j'ÉTAIS quand je me suis levée ce matin, mais j'ai bien dû changer plusieurs fois depuis.”)

Hi, I would like to know which one is correct.

"il parle le français de mieux en mieux."

"il parle de mieux en mieux le français."

Hi... I was wondering why i have to put Je viens de + (city) instead of Je Viens à + (City) ? like J'habite à Paris.. Isn't it for city i have to put à ?

For the example elle y repond, does this mean it's wrong to say elle le repond? Or elle la repond?
Thanks in advance.

1/ When I wanna say I go to a specific place by name, should I just write "Je vais à Son Duong" or "Je vais à la Son Duong? 

Ps: Son Duong is a village. 

2/ If I wanna say: He is the directer at Song Nguyen company. Is "Il est directeur à l'enterprise de Song Nguyen" correct? or no "de" needed? 

is there a trick to find the gender of nouns without knowing it beforehand ?

This kind of structure seemed a bit strange to me. When we say "Je me lave", it is like "I wash myself" and it's easy to compherend the existence of reflexive pronoun(me) there. But in this case; it's not easy.

So, my first question: Why do we double the pronouns?

Second question:

"Je les lave tous les jours." "Tu les brosses tous les soirs"

Are these sentences unacceptible or grammatically false?

Bonjour Madame Cécile!

This is a sentence from a lesson explaining the use of “le meilleur” ->

C'est la meilleure idée que tu aies jamais eue!
It's the best idea you've ever had!

Here, why has the verb ‘avoir’ been placed in Le Subjonctif ? 

Is this because of the key word -> que ?

I request you to provide a few more examples as it’s the first time I have come across this case.

Merci beaucoup!

Je vous souhaite une bonne journée!

I put of but it's coming as from dhryujvertgrtujrtdtruhjtydhdfgytr5yh67ikjr5ty646rjityut6r4y6r4uy
