I received this question in a quiz: "Les femmes travaillent: ________ lavent et les autres cuisinent."

Isn't "quelques-unes" another correct way to say "some of them?"

Pourquoi "Moi aussi j'aime les salades"  Elle référence des salades en générale non?  Pas les salades spécifique?

In this sentence can't we use des amis Why d'amis

You're washing yourself! (i.e. You do it on your own!)

I thought when it means on your own it is 'tout seul'. Is this phrase idiomatic, and doesn't necessary mean 'washing'? I am confused with i.e. you do it on your own. For example, can I use this phrase to say a kid baked a cake on his own?

“Quel plaisir de recevoir DE tes nouvelles” and “J’espère recevoir DE tes nouvelles”. When do you need to add the “de” after “recevoir”?  Does it depend on the noun, in this case “tes nouvelles”? Because it seems other nouns can follow this verb without a preposition e.g. “Quel plaisir de recevoir ton cadeau” and “J’espère recevoir une lettre”.
