The speakers in this dialogue (a tutor and an adult student who already know each other) used the inversion form to pose questions. Wouldn’t we expect them to use the less formal « est-ce que » form in these circumstances?

Why is "elle doit partir, ce qu'est triste"  wrong 

Contracting "Ce qui" 

Je donne les correct réponses mais l’ordinateur ne les accepte pas. C’est une  problème ici.

I'm curious about why we say "Je lui parle", but "Je pense à lui.  Can we say, "Je parle à lui" and Je lui pense"? Why does "parler" use an indirect object pronoun and "penser" use a stress pronoun? What is the reasoning behind this? Is it something to do with the meaning of the verbs, or is there no logic to it?

Hello everyone :)

Just a small question, why do you use "faire une escale?" instead of "avoir une escale"?

because it's not "make the stopover".

Thank you in advance for your advices and responses.

Not complaining, but I wonder if you could explain why sometimes the "your answer matched mine" differs from the version in the text on the final page? For example I had "nous apprenons de nouvelles choses chaque fois que nous le faisons !" marked correct but it becomes "à chaque fois" in the full text at the end. And several times my answer is red-pencilled but then is given as a possible alternative. Does this reflect later editing of an exercise or mean maybe that my answer was ok but not the best?

Hi, should “et il faudra que vous vérifiez leurs conditions” in fact be “et il faudra que vous vérifiiez leurs conditions” as vérifier is in the subjunctive?

Pourquoi dit on ce n'est pas au lieu de dire elle n'est pas une voiture électrique ?

Merci
