what does this have to do with the way you pronounce the words in french? wouldn't you just say them the way you would in English

Hello. Can anyone point me in the direction of a thesaurus? I cannot find one anywhere, even on Amazon.

Hello. Can anyone please explain the difference between:

Sa/ses/son

And

Ta/tes/ton 

Please.

In this lesson and many others, one of the sub-sections is titled "Pronounciation guide", however, the correct spelling should be "Pronunciation guide" (in American English, as well). Kindly correct this (and everywhere, if you can).

is it correct form to write

Aurélie s'est disputée avec sa soeur?  Should there be another e on disputé if followed by 'avec sa soeur'?

What is the difference between C'est quoi ? and Qu'est-ce que c'est ? and in what context we use them? Both of them seem same to me in English. 

Hi. The sentence refers to the past, so why 'car il fait chaud', which is the present tense, and not the imperfect ' car il fasais chaud'?

Cheers,

Bonjour Madame Cécile !

In a quiz, I was given the following sentences->

1. Ils sont riches. J'ai lu ________ quelque part. 

(They're wealthy. I read that somewhere.)

Now, the correct answer was cela/ça. Though I got it right but I would like to ask why “ceci” is inappropriate.

2. Elle pourra partir plus tôt : je lui ai promis ________. (She will be able to leave earlier: I promised her that.)

Here, too I would question whether “ceci” is acceptable or not.

3. ________  sera prévu. (It will be taken care of. )

The accurate answer is “Ce” but why can’t one use “Ça/Ceci/Cela” .

Merci beaucoup pour votre aide.

Je vous souhaite une bonne journée.
