Comment vont-ils aller en Allemagne ? (How are they going to Germany?)I just learned "Comment vont-ils aller en Allemagne ?" Why is aller necessary here? Why can't it just be "Comment vont-ils en Allemagne ?" Thanks

Could you give a reminder/link re: lui vs. elle?I had the question Translate "She misses Jacques". I chose "Jacques elle manque" (wrong) instead of "Jacques lui manque". The lesson states "...or to use pronouns (i.e. I, you, he, we, they... miss), you will use me/te/lui/nous/vous/leur before manquer.". Would it be possible to add a link to the relevant lesson about pronouns at the bottom of the lesson? It would be helpful to reference this, to understand which pronoun to use in this instance. Thanks.

Est-il acceptable utiliser en avec quelqun (any) region/état/province? Salut! Au fin du leçon il dit "Note that en is also acceptable for reasons of pronunciation." Est-il acceptable utiliser 'en' avec tous les regions/états/provinces? Cela rendrait cette règle plus faciles à retenir!

Bernard l'envoie à elle - why is this incorrect?Just wanted to check why "Bernard l'envoie à elle" was incorrect to say Bernard sent something to her - is it that "lui" is mandatory in this case?

I'm sat between Lea and Tim. I've never in the U.S. heard this. We say I am seated between Lea and Tim. or I was seated between them. Not sure what grammar book uses this expression, I am sat. Never heard it. I sat down is used
