for the regular forms :

Les [nom] [verb], Les is plural
-> [nom] take a s at the end, plural
-> [verb] need to match 'Les', at takes nt at the end for the 1 first group verbs, ont for the 2nd group, and whatever is right for the 3rd group ones

example :
les avions volent (the planes fly) (group 1)
and not : les avion vole

Les enfants vont a l'ecole (children go to school) (group 2)

Les rats envahissent [envahir] mon appartement (rats invade my flat) (group 3)



adjectives take a s too if they qualify more than 1 object :

2 nouvelleS salleS d'ordinateurS

De, Des, Du, Le, La, Les (to/of/the) are modified if needed, for example if the upcoming letter is e,a,o,u,i
Etudiant's life : la vie D'etudiant.
The school : l'ecole
To organisate : d'organiser

De is different of Des
one time : une fois
sometimes : deS fois

ce,un,le is male, cette,une,la is female, ces,des,les are both :p
CE moment (moment is male)
UNE chose (chose is female)
tho, CES moments or DES choses are correct

quel que chose, quelque in a full word.

ce une cigarette (it is a cigarette : to be) -> c'est une cigarette

aperto : this is a diminutive of aperitif (i dont translate it :p), and its apero.

2 semaines d'avance doesnt mean "2 weeks before the day".
it mean "you have to pay 2 weeks of your rent before you can start to live in the flat", that' idiomatic

a law is female, that's une loi. So, nouveau is wrong, its nouvelle : une nouvelle loi, des nouvelles lois (we may say DE nouvelles lois tho, because it sounds better, yeh, that's irregular too :p)

plu de droit -> plus le droit

there are several beaux-arts, so it is auX beaux-arts.

ce plutot festive (it is the fiesta) -> c'est plutot festif.

etc etc...

well there's many things to correct, many many, but when i see how hard and irregular the french language is, i must say that you write it yet extremly well (perhaps even better that some french guy would do :p)
Of course, that lesson's coming from someone who speaks english like a pig and write it like a bulldozer :P
