Why can't we use "fait le natation" as a translation for "my sister goes swimming every saturday"? In another lesson it talks about how fait le natation is for regular swimming or team.

Using "non" to replace "n'est-ce pas"

What about adding "non" at the end of a question when seeking confirmation?

Such as "Tu parles anglais, non?" as a shorthand for "Tu parles anglais, n'est-ce pas?"

Example 6: Je LEUR lis une histoire...Does this mean "lire" is a verb for which "à" is commonly applied? Or is it in this case that the full sentence would be "Je lis une histoire à mes enfants", and hence the usage of "leur" is warranted?

Qui doen't contract before a vowel

Qu'est-ce que tu penses?

but,

Qui est-ce qui vient ce soir?

Just wondering why 'Qui', which ends in a vowel, wouldn't contract when the following word begins with a vowel, as does the example with 'Que'?

How do we write "she will get it done" or "she will get it signed (by someone)"?Do we necessarily use "futur proche" e.g. elle va le faire ? However "elle va le signer" is not the same meaning. "Elle le fera signer" - would this be correct?
