How could you say "The girls I'm thinking of are amazing." ?
Les filles auxquels je pense sont géniales. Les filles à qui je pense sont géniales.Les filles à laquelle je pense sont géniales.Les filles dont je pense sont géniales.Les filles à quoi je pense sont géniales.Les filles auxquelles je pense sont géniales.
Less commonly, à + indirect object may be replaced with the adverbial pronoun y:
Il y pense. He’s thinking about her. J’y fais référence. I’m referring to them. On s’y habitue. We’re getting used to him.Found these here : https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/indirect-objects-2/ So y seems to be able to replace people?Why is it 'Elle me rappelle Paula' rather than 'elle rappelle Paula à moi' ?
Marraine m'avait prise dans ses bras
...why prise and not pris? Which rule would apply here?

Please explain

Est-ce que bande-dessinée veut dire "comic strip," et roman illustré veut dire "graphic novel?"
Hi, I don't really understand when to use the present tense and when to use the future tense after "prochain". eg L'année prochaine, il commence l'université AND En septembre prochain, Gareth visitera Madrid. In fact I'm a bit vague on Future/Present options in general....A pointer towards a lesson would be appreciated, Thanks.
