Eg. Can you say J'aime mangeant instead of J'aime manger

Does avoir besoin de ever become avoir besoin des or du?

I answered with the second one, and after much thought, not the first. I asked a french speaking friend and she said the first sounded odd and she would not use it, although she didn't think it was wrong. Can you provide some guidelines?

Thanks

In the following sentence - C'est ma sœur., c'est is not followed by un/une/la/le/les then why cant we use elle est?

He's going to call his parents.  ->  He's going to call them.

In these above examples, why are both the direct and indirect object pronouns placed in between the verbs instead of in front of both of them? 

Merci.

It really sounds like 'Telle conversation passionnante' rather than 'quelle'. Am I mis-hearing it ?

The lesson says you never use dans for months or years. So if a delivery will be made in one month you don’t say la livraison sera effectuée *dans* un mois? 

Franchir vs croiser always confuses me. Please explain

Clearly the nice and better is being used for the boyfriends (subject) and not is the verb, then why on earth are we using mieux here? It seems to be an error, feel free to correct me though.
