How would you say « whom do you miss »?

I notice nearly all the subjects in these examples are proper nouns (with one qui?). When using a subject pronoun instead, would it become ce /c’ to avoid the il/elle + determiner construction ?

For example:  

 Elle est intelligente —> c’est la fille la plus intelligente de la classe 

Why does the text switch from imparfait to passé composé here:

Nous étions vraiment désolés. Nous nous sommes excusés

Do the singular names that refer to groups take the same conjugation like (il/elle) or like (ils/elles) 

Ex: is it la famille est or la famille sont ?

In the sentence, "Il s'agit de l'un des plus grands bâtiments gothiques d'Europe, dont les fresques finement ouvragées vous laisseront bouche bée d'admiration.”, duquel,  referring to 'un', is not offered as a possibility.   Why not?

Hi. I understand that one could say "Je donne les requins à Anne" (i.e. "I am giving the sharks to Anne...imagine that Anne is a marine biologist) or "Je les donne à Anne" (i.e. I am giving them to Anne) or Je les lui donne" (i.e. I am giving them to her). However, how would one say "I am giving Anne to the sharks" (imagine that Anne has upset the local mafia) using a double pronoun (i.e. "I am giving her to them"? Presumably, one cannot say "Je lui les donne" (because it would violate the rules on the order of pronouns)? What about "Je y lui donne"? Any help gratefully received.

Bonjour,

Could you please explain, why during the pronunciation of "Il est une heure" the letter "t" connects to "une" but in "Il est onze heures" the letter "t" does not connect to "onze"? Is there any specific rule in this regard?

I thought it is depuis...je suis (not past).

Or is it a difference between:

Since then, I have been following her career

Vs

I have since been following her career.

Regardez les phrases suivante: Elle est à l'origin du groupe, et elle écrit la majorité des chansons. J'adore sa voix. Ce semble que "sa" dans ce dernière phrase réfère à Chantal Lauby, pas Jennifer. N'est-ce pas?

In "la surprise n'en sera que plus grande" why "n'en sera que" rather than "ne sera que"?  The lesson says en can replace the preceding de+phrase but I cannot see de+phrase.
