a specious explanation. Brushing of my hair!

In the imperative, what is the rule for pronouncing the letter vs the letter sound ? I’ve heard both and don’t understand the difference. 

Convert this sentence into plural form

why is 'ça' used to refer to 'le recyclage' and not 'il'? Like 'Il réduit la pollution' for instance or 'il limite des déchets'?

Unless I'm mistaken (which is very possible), "Cette écharpe lui va" would be a correct way to say "This scarf suits them" because it's not clear from the English sentence if "them" is plural (group of people) or singular (someone whose gender isn't known/specified), right? Or is that too much of Anglo interpretation? 

The correct answer was listed as "Cette écharpe leur va". 

Can you please tell the meaning of 'en' in the below sentence?

E.g. "Un mot est ajouté à la fin d'une phrase pour en faire une question."

What does 'pour en faire' mean literally?

Ça fait 156e was said too quickly.

Are there any Listening Exercises to practice numbers?

what does 'ce sont des amours' mean?

Can you please explain when 'de' is used before a number in French? 

- La population a augmenté l'année dernière de 3,46,000 personnes. (Does it mean 'increased to' or 'increased by' here?)

- Le prix est de 500 dollars.

And, is there a general rule about using "de" before numbers? Please explain? 

Why is it not "....qu'elle s'agit....." as both the sculpture (which we know is a woman and is specific) is feminine and/or Catherine is feminine? 

Also is the use of the conditional perfect, because this is a legend and therefore there is some doubt as to whether it actually happened?
