French language Q&A Forum

I was taught (in both English-taught French classes and by French-speaking people) that the use of 'on' for 'we' was very colloquial and borderline bad grammar. I was baffled by the construction of the sentence using 'we' in English. I'm annoyed to be classified as 'lower intermediate' when I am considerably more advanced than that, even if I'm out of practice. I need to practice, but won't get much if I'm getting questions at this level and being challenged only by a confusing usage.

I am still confused about whether should  I use Des or Les 

Je veux des bonbons
Je veux les bonbons

Why the second sentence wouldn't be correct? 

What is the rule governing whether or not the reflexive construction is used?  It seems clear with personal verbs like brushing ones teeth or cutting one’s hair, but not clear at all in the context of having sandals made. 

Hello, 

Does kwiziq by chance have a list of verbs that typically go with à? I would find this really helpful. Thanks!
