Bonjour, can you let me know if I understand 'new' correctly or just simplifying it too much, my notes are:

Neuf - used after noun but only if the item you are speaking of is brand new (but not on living things)
Neuve - used after noun but only if the item is new to you but not necessarily brand new
Nouveau - is the masculine form and used before consonants
Nouvel - is the masculine form and used before vowels
Nouvelle - is the feminine form and used before nouns OR  vowels

Does that sound right?

Merci

Apparaître follows the same pattern as connaître for the passé composé, (aître -> u), so not an exception. See -  https://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-rules-model-french/model-conna%C3%AEtre.html

EXCEPTIONS : 

Qui habite à travers la rue?

(I eat other things as well as potato)

Do you use un or une when using nous and vous? I'm studying professions in sentences, and 2 of the sentences went as follows:

"Nous sommes ____ ____________" (The profession was a journalist)

"Vous etes ____ _____________" (The profession was a cook)

I'm confused on this and can't seem to find any articles online about it :(

Is it because manquer implies nagativity?
