Incorrect "hint"

Why does the "Hint" have: "-'it' = l'hotel", but considers "L'hotel..." as incorrect? I originally used "Il..." (considered correct) and changed it due to the hint!

Penser with conditionnel

Hi,

I had a doubt regarding this statement :

Je pense que tu vendrais facilement ta maison.

Shouldn't statements with penser/croire etc only be followed by indicatif in the positive or subjonctif in the negative? In what cases can we use conditionnel? I would think this particular sentence should use vendre in the future tense. So:

Je pense que tu vendras facilement ta maison.

Please let me know.

Thanks and regards

Roopa

When question words act as COD

Hello,

I see there's an example: "Quels bonbons tu as choisis?"

I guess that because "bonbons" is a COD in this question and it stands before the verb "choisi" so the verb has to accord with the COD --> it becomes "chosis"

But when I use deepL to try another example: "Which dress did she wear?"

The answer is: "Quelle robe a-t-elle porté?"

My question is shouldn't it be: "Quelle robe a-t-elle portée?"

Or is there an exception I didn't know about? More examples relating to this is very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Le C1 pour cette semaine...

Cela m'a pris 2 heures mais j'en ai tiré beaucoup de belles phrases, et je a été surprise par le suite quand j’ai regardé mon horloge. Bien écrit. Amusant. Merci. : )

Moi/me? - Toi/te?

I make up the following, but I can't find the answers online. Are "moi" and "toi" correct here? If yes, is there an explanation why "me" and "te" are not used here?

Give it to me! = Donne le moi!

Give it to you? = Donne le toi?

Give it to him/her! = Donne le lui!

Give it to us! = Donne le nous!

Give it to them! = Donne le leur!

Question de Jour ou Journée

How would you write "Question of the Day"? For example, each day my french class starts with a "question of the day". I've been using jour but now I'm worried I've been incorrect.

Attendre or s'attendre for expecting a baby

Hello-

For this question: Nadia ________ un bébé. The two choices are attend or s'attende. I went with attend, since the lessons says that attendre (non-pronomial) is always used for expecting a baby, but I was marked wrong.

Conjugation after the use of queJe veux tellement qu'ils finissent ensemble. Je le souhaite de tout mon cœur.I want them to end up together so much. I wish it with all my heart.
why is it qu'ils finissent and not qu'ils finir ensemble. Isn't the second verb supposed to be infinitive or does the que indicate the beginning of a new sentence?
