It’s the first time that I’ve come across « faire revenir » in culinary terms. Is it used over « faire dorer » for that manner of cooking or can either expression be used ?

Why has 'Mort' as the past participle of Mourir changed spelling to 'mour' ? I understand adding the 's' to make it match. 

Even in the 'learn & discuss; section, it show the past participle as 'mort'. is this an error ?

How do you know 'lui' in the instance below is a woman?

Il n'avait jamais pu lui avouer la vérité?

Hi, the line “that her grandmother sent her” translates to “que sa grand-mère lui a envoyée” in the exercise, but should this be “que sa grand-mère lui a envoyé”. I.e. Should “envoyé” not pick up the extra feminine “e” because there is no COD before the verb, there is only a COI before the verb. 

In the first sentence, "Depuis que je suis petite fille, j'ai toujours adoré m'asseoir" why is the first half in present tense, and the second half passé composé?

Also, for the sentence, "les gracieuses ballerines qui se produisaient à l'Opéra," is "jouer" not an acceptable translation for perform? 

Question: Doing some review before taking an immersion class. To the question: Please translate s'brosser in passe compose "We brushed our hair", I wrote: "Nous nous sommes brosses..." (with the correct accent). Response was that it was nearly correct and should have been "Nous nous sommes brosse". I don't get it. Why would it be singular? Thanks in advance. 

"Il faudra qu'on se refasse ça à l'occasion". I am unclear about the function of "se" in this sentence. Would it also be correct to say "Il faudra qu'on refasse ça à l'occasion" to mean "We'll have to do this again sometime"? 

Could I also use 'prudent' instead of 'vigilant'?
