Is there a lesson to understand when to use le/la or ça for example. If I was eating something I like would I say Je l'aime or J'aime ça?

What is the difference between 'Alors' and 'Puis'

I answered like this, il le lui a refusé? Il le nous a refusé aussi, I was wrong. What went wrong, please? 

The recommended translation for 'what a powerful voice that man had!' is 'quelle voix puissante avait cet homme !'. I don't actually see this usage of inversion covered in any grammar guides. Is it the norm to invert subject and verb in a sentence beginning with an exclamatory adjective?

In this article, it says that when talking about specific things we should use il/elle.

Yet in the example, we see a sentence that says:

   C'est le fils de Martha

Wouldn't we have to use il est instead of c'est here ? Just how many kids does Martha have that we have to use a generalizing statement like c'est instead ?

In the sentence "Oui, je me suis maté toute la saison 1 en un weekend," why is the "maté" not "matée"? Female speaker, reflexive verb?

(Also, the pronunciation of "1" in that sentence seems clearly "un" rather than "une".)

The partitive article isn't use here? "Jambon, fromage et pain maison"?

Thanks

Hi,

I encountered a similar question in the test. In the test, it was:

I would like either money or a present and the answer is J'aimerais soit de l'argent soit un cadeau

I see "de l'argent" is used instead of "l'argent". Is it because this is rather an order than a preference?

But then I wonder, how should I express a preference like:

I like either money or a present

Should I say "J'aime soit l'argent soit un cadeau"?

I had this example. Why "Et toi, qui est-ce qu' as-tu rencontré?" is wrong? Can't we use qui est-ce que here?
