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? 

how can i distinguish which verbs with direct object, which with indirect object? i did a lot of wrong answers because of that.

The stone question was not easy. How would one say "Stone collection" or " Pierre's Stone collection"?

Thank you, Di

Why are there 9 different types of past tense? NINE?! 🤯 Will even a native speaker really use all those? I give up lol

J'ai appris beaucoup de cet exercise. Pourquoi il n'y a pas le mot "pas" dans la phrase .....qu'ils ne soient nés en captivité...?  Merci.
