^ The word professeur is considered masculine at all times, even if the teacher is female.

^ The way that grades are numbered in France is opposite the way they are in the US. Whereas American grade numbers go up as you approach your senior year, they descend in France.

^ In French, you do not "own" body parts. While in English, you would say my hand or your hand, the definite article is almost always used in French.
la main - my hand
la jambe - my leg
le bras - my arm
For example, you would say Je me suis cassé la main (I have broken my hand) and never Je me suis cassé ma main. But you must say "Ma main est cassée" (My hand is broken) and not "La main est cassée" (lit. The hand is broken) if you speak about your own hand.
^ To and of are built into the verbs écouter and entendre respectively. It is not necessary to add a preposition to the verb. Other verbs, such as répondre {à), meaning to respond (to), are almost always followed by a preposition.
