If "brun" is for fur, skin, and hair, why are the dogs and the mouse "marron"?

Why does "CP" correspond to "first grade"? How are French grade levels named?

what gender can be used with du des a'l' de la and de l'

By the way, we would never say “At the Doctor”. It’s always “At the Doctor‘s”. This is short for “At the Doctor’s surgery”, although this expanded form is rarely said. So we would say “I’m going to the Doctor’s”, “I’m at the Doctor’s”, and so on. We can, however, use “Doctor” without the possessive with the statement “I’m going to see the Doctor”. Also, it’s worth mentioning that a surgery, in this context, is more-or-less an office and not anything like an operating theatre. 

I wonder - why you said 'j'ai passé (de nombreux après-midis)' when every other past tense is written as the imperfect? Every thing done here was a repeated past action. 

Hi team. Wondering why only "Go there!" is the only answer. "You go there!" should be correct, too?

J'ai des chocolats dans ma poche. (I have some chocolates in my pockets.)

Could you explain why the translation is "my pockets" rather than "my pocket"?

Thank you

Why isn't the question above inverted? Is it specific to the usage of "que"?

In “dont les noms sont tout aussi appétissants”, why doesn’t “tout” agree with the subject (“les noms”)? I was expecting to see “tous”.
