French language Q&A Forum

In 'New in Town', for the line: 'It shouldn't be too hard to make new friends', there were a number of possible responses given as correct. My question relates to the following 2 possible options: 1. Ça ne devrait pas être trop difficile de ME faire de nouveaux amis, and 2. Ça ne devrait pas être trop difficile de SE faire de nouveaux amis (my emphasis).  I have not been able to find an explanation as to why one has a choice as to whether one makes the reflexive pronoun agree with the subject in the options given. This is an aspect of French that I have never been completely sure about.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi.  I love these dictées.  Is there any way of getting access to more of them?

Thanks

Nous étions en vacances lorsqu'ils nous ont cambriolés.

Would it not be " nous avons cambriolés'' here?

What's the meaning of this phrase, "enchaîné les apéritifs?"

"A series of drinks?" or perhaps even "a round?"

My wife is a doctor:  Can this  be translated as 1)  " Ma femme est une médecine  . OR  2) Ma femme est médecin . Could you please let me know which one (if any) is correct, and an accompanying explanation would be appreciated.   Thanks 

Bonjour tout le monde, could you please recommend some beginner friendly books and TV shows?

One of my 'test recommended' questions was: Il prend toujours l’avion. - Non, il ________ l'avion

The answer given was: 'ne prend jamais' and my answer 'ne prend jamais de' was marked incorrect.

Why is there no 'de' in this case when the 'vous mangez de la viande' example on this page shows there is?

Monsieur Dupont, vous vous êtes trompé.

Why do you use être here instead of avoir. Shouldn't it be 'avez'?

I have a student who was taking an A0 test. She was asked how to say "Marie, you are a student." and was given the prompt 'Marie tu...'. She answered 'Marie tu es élève.' and Kwizbot told her that she was wrong, that it should be 'Marie tu es étudiante." Why would 'élève be incorrect? I was under the impression that they were interchangeable, so I need to understand the usage differences...
