French language Q&A Forum

Salut! Thank you for this wonderful platform for studying French! I have one issue to share: I am an A0/A1 learner. One of the quiz questions "Who is speaking?" was asked regarding this sentence: "Je suis acteur." My reponse was "Both of them." However, when reviewing the corrections, it stated that my answer was "Michael" and the correct answer was "Both of them." I tripled checked and I did input the correct anwer each time. I just wanted you to be aware.

Thanks, again!

Quelle est la différence entre "d'abord," "au début," et "pour commencer ?" Il y a des nuances d'utilisation ? 

In the sentence, Moi, je préfère la bière blonde, Julien préfère la bière brune et Max ne boit que de la bière blanche, the speaker and Julien prefer LA bière but Max drinks only DE LA bière.   Why the use of the partitf for Max ?

When would you use the "aller faire..." format such as in "Avec mes copines, on va faire du shopping ce weekend", versus just "faire du shopping"?

  Quand j'utilise le mot qui et quand j'utilise le mot que ? 

Why favorite (feminin) and not favori when Mon (masculin) activité est le ski (masculin) de fond ? Have missed something ?

Is there any difference in meaning between the use of faire and etre contextually? Or, are they freely interchangeable? 

I guess my main concern is, is there an example of a time when faire would be chosen over etre and vice versa?  

I have a doubt on "je l'ai faite" and "tu l'as faite" in the above conversation.... shouldn't it be "je l'ai fait" and "tu l'as fait"....i suppose it is passé composé?
