D'animaux vs DES animauxWhy is it "Elle n'aime pas d'animaux" rather than "Elle n'aime pas DES animaux"? I didn't think that it mattered if the noun started with a vowel when it was plural; it would alway become "des" and the 's' would be pronounced in front of the vowel sound.

Is there a rule for using liaison after "mais."I hear the different usages of liaison with "mais" before words beginning with a vowel. In your video "La Bretagne se révèle en Côtes d'Armor" the speaker sometimes uses it and sometimes does not before the same sound, making her difficult to understand. Is it simply facultative or is there more to it. Thanks.

agreement of reflexive verbs

Can anyone refer me to the lesson as to why "je me suis brossé les dents"   brossé has no extra e and the speaker is a woman. Has to do with "les dents" being the direct object, I think, but would love to read the lesson.

How do we know if a verb is feminine or masculine?

Is there any trick as such to consider them? I often find myself confused in the gender parts. Thanks

Joyeuse Halloween ?

If Halloween is feminine, shouldn’t the expression be joyeuse Halloween instead of joyeux?

Is there a difference between "l'année passée" and "l'année dernière" or can they both mean "last year"? Thanks!
