Que and Qui'Qu'est que' or 'qu'est qui' marche le mieux ? I find this difficult to understand. This lesson says that Qui is used when the following word is a verb. That's not the case in the example given. How might I understand this more clearly, please? Thanks.

The midday meal

Just wondering if "le repas du midi" is indeed correct for the midday meal? (I thought that it was "le repas de midi", but maybe they are both correct?)

Haïr - what is the correct punctuation?

Bescherelle punctuates haïr in the passé simple as: je haïs, tu haïs, il haït, etc., whereas you insist on: j'hais, tu hais, il hais, etc.  Can they both be correct?

rendez-vous vs. reunion

Quelle est la difference entre: "un rendez-vous" et "une reunion" ? 

Je pense qu'"un rendez-vous" = "an appointment" and "une reunion" = "meeting".

Est-ce que c'est juste ?

Qui est-ce qui vous parle?

I would translate this as 'who are you speaking to? but I know the correct translation is 'who is speaking to you?' and I don't understand why so I wonder if you could explain please?
