I was wondering why "j'irai finir" is used instead of "je vais finir." Is there a subtle difference in meaning between them? Thanks!

The use of partitive vs definite articles continues to be confusing to me, such as in this phrase in the second to last paragraph, "Un lien d'avenir, grâce à l'engagement ".  It is translated as, "A link to the future, thanks to the commitment," . Why is d'avenir used and not à l'avenir?  And why à l'engagement and not d'engagement?

Why are you devient? As in, elle devient une star... Devient seems to be the present tense of devenir; shouldn't you be using the imparfait?

Merci

Will you please explain the meaning  of pouvoir in imparfait.
I Can not completely understand its meaning? 

Translate "He's giving it to us"

I thought the answer would be: Il le nous donne. But LawlessFrench said the answer was: Il nous le donne. 

Isn't the direct object "it" or "le" and isn't the indirect object "us" or "nous"? Doesn't the direct object come before the indirect object?

I notice fait maison does not agree with the feminine noun. Is it a fixed expression?

I naively thought that, given that all reflexive verbs take être as their auxiliary, they would always agree in gender and number when requiring a past participle. Is there any simple method I can apply to identify the exceptions to the rule

Can it ever be “ Toute ce qui/que”

Feminine? or is it a fixed expression?

Bonjour,

Can I ask why the adjective in Maurice est un professeur excellent comes after the noun, while Vous êtes un mauvais avocat  comes before? Maurice est un professeur excellent doesn't fall within the 5 categories listed in this lesson- Adjectives usually go AFTER nouns in French (Position of Adjectives) 

Merci！
