The rules you give are quite useful. Thank you.

One thing that I would add is that I can remember easier if I think in terms of who is actually entering. If the Subject is entering, then we use être, but if the "entering" is being done by someone/something other than the Subject, then we use avoir.

Mes filles sont entrées en CP cette année. -> Mes filles

Nous avons entré les informations dans le programme. -> les informations

This works in other cases where we need to decide between avoir and être.  (or where the sentence seems to indicate that the action is not done by the sentence subject)

In the song Jalousie by Angele, in saying the English question, "Who is that girl in the photo", why does she say,

"C'est qui cette fille sur la photo" rather than "Qui est cette fille sur la photo"?  

Is this Walloon French, since she is from Belgium?  Thank you very much.  

why do i not pronounce s in tu vas au travaille :(

The phrase “In case I’m late, I’ll take my keys.” Is shown to be correctly translated as:

“Au cas où je serais en retard, je prendrai mes clés.”

My answer, “Au cas où je suis en retard . . . “ was marked incorrect. Why?

To me, “I’m late” translates to “I am late.”

Hi,
how do we know when a nationality used in a sentence is an adjective or a noun?
thank you

When do you know that this object is a direct object or indirect object.

This is more of a general grammar question, but I don't see how the sentence "She will get a refund." is in the same family of sentences as all the other examples. Why is it not something like "She's having [her purchase] refunded"?

assister + à = to attend
