Bit of clarification please:-

- Isn't 'I pass by the new coffee shop' better translated by 'passe par' ? The exercise on Passer  gives -Passer par / devant ...   (to pass by / in front of...)

- does not 'J'aime' mean 'I love' and wouldn't 'J'aime bien 'I like' be better in this instance? (the excercise on Aimer says 'Note that when using aimer bien, it actually lessens its meaning from 'to love' to 'to like' [someone] / [something].'

I've heard that both ceux(and all of its forms) and lesquels(and all of its forms) means the one. So, how do you differentiate? For example: Eva aime mes biscuits mais déteste ceux de sa tante. 

Hello, do I understand correctly that en is used here because there are two object pronouns?  Pierre m'en a offert.

Hey! I answered a question (correctly) and in the results, they said I had unanswered it? What is going on with these tests? Hope you answer soon!

Hello! When I went through this question (very carefully), I noticed that 'une' was actually 'a', not 'the', so I missed it out. But, as the results came in, the test said that I had selected 'une', and that i didn't select the answer 'le'! What's happening?! I don't understand.

Est-ce qu'on peut utiliser le voisinage au lieu de quartier dans ce contexte ? 

It's great that Christmas gets a mention in this lesson. However, in the 500+ tests I've done I don't remember a single question mentioning Christmas. There have been questions mentioning Aid, a fair few mentioning Hanukkah and loads mentioning Thanksgiving. Please add a few questions involving Christmas! I believe it's considered rather an important festival in the USA, as well as the UK and elsewhere.

Why is this avoir? I appreciate the verb is followed by a noun but its no different to getting off a plane, in real terms. I seem to be finding this matter unusually difficult
