Q: Season with two tablespoons of sea salt. Allot at least 1 liter (0.3 US gal) for each crab that you are cooking. 2 crabs would mean at least 2 liters (0.5 US gal) of water, while 5 crabs would mean at least 5 liters (1.3 US gal) of water. If you want to stun the crab before dropping it in (thus killing it more humanely), take it by its legs and gently wave its head through the top of the water for several seconds.  The crab's shell will turn a bright orange color when the crab is fully cooked.  A large crab (~2 lbs) will take between 15 and 20 minutes to cook. A smaller crab (~1 lb or below) will take between 8 and 10 minutes to cook.  Twist off the claws and legs of the crab. Use a crab mallet or a nutcracker to break the crab shell at the joints and then in the widest part of the shell. Place the crab upside down. Then pull up the tail flap (also called an "apron") and throw away. Turn the crab over and discard the upper shell. Then place the crab on its back again and wipe away the gills, innards, and jaw. Crack the crab in half and enjoy the meat inside the body.
A: Bring several liters (8 to 9 cups) of water to boil to cook two crabs. Gently drop the crab(s) into the boiling water. Bring water back to a boil and then turn heat down to low, simmering. Once the water is simmering, cook the crab(s) depending on their weight. Shock the crab(s) in an ice-water bath for 20 seconds to stop the meat from overcooking. Serve immediately, or chill in the refrigerator and serve cold.

A: Apply a small drop of brow gel to the back of your hand.

Q: The "passé composé" is for actions that had a definite beginning and end, such as "I threw a ball," or "They have baked a cake." Actions in the past that happen often or habitually (like the weather or your mood) use a different tense. The passé composé is the most common past tense in French. The passé compose is a compound tense, which is a fancy way of saying it has two parts. The first part is a conjugated version of "avoir" (to have)." This is similar to English, where you can say "I have eaten," or "She has run." This is the first part of your conjugation. As a refresher, the conjugation of "avoir" is:  Avoir (to have): J'ai, tu as, il a, nous avons, vous avez, elles ont. Think of the English expression, "I have eaten." Notice how "eaten" is not like any other conjugation for the verb "to eat." French does the same thing -- there is a different ending for the past tense of verbs. Luckily, they are easy to remember:   -Er verbs, "-é." Examples: parlé, montré, decidé.  -Ir verbs, "-i." Examples: fini, réussi.  -Re verbs, "-u" Examples: entendu, répondu. Simply add your conjugation of "avoir" to your past participle to form the past tense. While the literal translation will always be "I have talked," or "they have listened," this tense can also translate to "I talked," or "they listened." Several examples from different verbs:   First person: "ai + verb." J'ai parlé → I talked.   Second person: "as + verb." Tu as fini → You finished.   Third person: "a + verb." Il a entendu → He heard.   Plural first person: "avons + verb." Nous avons réussi → We succeeded.   Plural second person: "avez + verb." Vous avez essayé → You all tried.   Plural third person: "-ont + verb." Elles ont répondu → They responded. " The formula "avoir + past participle works for 95% of French verbs. However, there are a selection of verbs that must use "être + past participle" (to be) to be put in the simple past tense. The translation is still in the past ("I fell"). These verbs are:  Devenir, Revenir, Monter, Rester, Sortir, Venir, Aller, Naître, Descendre, Entrer, Rentrer, Tomber, Retourner, Arriver, Mourir, Partir A helpful way to remember these verbs is by the acronym, Dr. & Mrs. Vandertramp. You'll notice the list above is already in this order. Grammatically, these verbs are known as "intransitive verbs." & Mrs. Vandertramp verbs. Once you remember which verbs need "être" (to be), add the past participle to make the past tense. Note, however, that the verb has to match the subject. Plural phrases get an "-s" and expressions about females get an extra "-e"   First person: "suis + verb." Je suis tombée → I fell. ("I" refers to a woman.)  Second person: "es + verb."  Tu es tombé → You fell.   Third person: "est + verb." Il est tombé → He fell.   Plural first person: "sommes + verb." Nous sommes tombés → We fell.   Plural second person: "etes + verb." Vous êtes tombés → You all fell.   Plural third person: "sont + verb." Elles sont tombées → They fell.
A:
Use the past tense for simple, complete actions in the past. Conjugate the present tense of "avoir" to start the passé composé. Find the "past participle" of your verb. Put the two parts together to form the past tense. Know the verbs that conjugate with "être" instead of "avoir. Replace "avoir" with "être" for Dr.
