I want to understand the word order of a demonstrative pronoun AS AN OBJECT (whether or not it is contracted to ça). It was asked below, "Je l'adore" vs. "J'adore ça" but the point was missed in the answer. when ÇA is used as an object, it seems to follow the verb, but when le, la, or lui is used, the object pronoun preceeds the verb.
I've searched Lawless French and googled for this, but have not found anything that specifically addresses this nuance of word order. Please help!
I don't think there's any way one could know them unless they had already been taught to the learner. I found it a bit unfair, but I suppose the grading is subjective and as long as one learns something, who cares.

There is not recording for any of this exercise.
Why have a kwiz where we are tested on conjugating "ralentir" if it turns out to actually be regular, given the information above? Are we supposed to understand that the examples above are the only irregular -tir verbs, or most of them? Because that is not particularly clear. What rough percentage of -tir verbs are irregular vs. regular?
In this sentence, I cannot hear the "d'œil"
Le vétérinaire a jeté un coup d'œil rapide à sa patte,
The speech for "parmi lesquelles un quiz de l'année qui vient de s'écouler, " is extremely unclear, and I was unable to figure it out. I played it to someone who is a native French speaker, and she couldn't figure it out either. It's the "quiz de l'année" part that is really bad.
why is there a 'de' before 'partager' here? what is this for?
I was marked only partially correct in answering the question: Another way of saying "Vous vous souvenez des îles Cyclades" is "Vous ________ îles Cyclades"
I answered “Vous vous rappelez des îles Cyclades” and was informed that Vous vous rappeles des was another possibility.
Why do you not receive full credit if an answer is correct regardless of other options in this case?
In conjugation tables, I have not seen this ending with vous. Could you please address this issue?
Thank you.
why is it 'elle faisait son jogging' and not 'elle faisait DU jogging' ?
Here it is
‚c‘est M.Dupont qui était responsable…‘
Is this an expression that always uses the present tense followed by the imperfect? Could you use imperfect and imperfect in this example ……c‘était M. Dupont qui était…..
Thank you
