To use ne or not to use ne in everyday conversation.

Hi, as I understand, the use of 'ne' in everyday 'street French' is gradually being omitted. Could you please clarify to what extent 'ne' is still used in this context.

Thank you

"Commun" pronounciation

Hello,

"Commun" sounds like "Comman" this is a little confusing, you cannot hear the 'U' is there an explanation ?

Chalets illumines, pain d'epices, vin chaud, jouets en bois.

Hi,

I'm wondering why it's ok for the nouns in this sentence (in subject line) to not have any articles (definite or indefinite)?

Thank you!

plural verbIl faut que vous ________ d'ici dix heures. Why is the answer soyez partis and not soyez parti. if the sentence is plural and not formal, there should be some indication.

Petit, quand nous rendions visite...

Est-ce que les français emploient souvent des mots comme "petit" devant quand. Par exemple, pourrais-je écrire "Saoul, quand j'ai bu trop de vin, je ne me sens pas bien"
