Causative Faire

I dont understand why se faire refaire isn't conjugated to [s'est fait refaire] but s'est fait poser is conjugated.

Also why isn't the causative faire used in the liposuction phrase? :

elle a eu plusieurs liposuccions

English "and" in the corrections

Salut,

For the sentence "et les jeudi et vendredi, j'avais mes cours de danse moderne," my "et" is being red-lined and replaced with the English "and" in blue. Not sure if others are experiencing the same problem. Kinda threw me for a loop. Haha.

'refers to' and 'dampen one's passion'

In the first sentence I translated "refers to" as "se réfère à" and was marked wrong. I also used 'atténuer' to translate 'dampen', and that was marked wrong, too. Are those corrections really correct?

ir verbs conjugated as er verbs in future tense

From the answers I see to this question in this discussion, we are expected to look through something like 1200 verb conjugations to find which ones fit this category. Even on the Lawless site for Irregular ir verbs, it lists the irregular ir verbs, but only one that changes in the future to an er verb conjugation. Where can one get a simple list of the ir verbs that change to er verb conjugations in the future tense?

The old house where my parents lived. Is it an ancient house that my parents once lived in or is it a modern house that they formerly lived in?

1How would you say: ''The ancient building where my parents lived.'' ?L'ancien bâtiment où mes parents habitaient.Le bâtiment ancien où mes parents habitaient.Le bâtiment ancienne où mes parents habitaient.Le bâtiment d'ancien où mes parents habitaient.
