Some idioms with faire (to do or make) include the following:
-

-

Faire is also used idiomatically to describe the weather and sports, as follows:
-
Quel temps fait-il? (What's the weather?)
-
Il fait beau. (It's beautiful.)

Combining venir de (to [have] just) with an infinitive shows that the subject has just done something: Je viens de manger. (I just ate.) Keep in mind that when two verbs are used in succession, the first verb is conjugated and the second verb remains in the infinitive: Je veux sortir. (I want to go out.)
