I don't get it...I used to learn spanish and french before and now I learn only french and get confused while before I didn't at all...found myself writing "Hombre" instead of "homme"...at least this time I saw it before...help?
Verbe "faire" is in a way comparable to "do" in English, in the sense that it is a catch-all verb, initially meaning "do" but used in many idiomatic expressions, with the role of an auxiliary:
- in the cooking area, lots of French verbs need "faire" to work: faire cuire quelque chose (to cook sthg), faire rôtir quelque chose (to roast sthg), faire rissoler quelque chose (to fry sthg), etc.

I translated it as " un homme prépare la cuisine" but strangely duolingo suggests "1 homme...." how can that be possible?
