what does "tubes de Téléphone" mean?

I came across this sentence in a recent test.  I understand that 'qui'  replaces the subject (grand-père ).  What is the function of 'lui' ?

How to do Negation with Interrogation of Pronominal verbs?

Like in this sentence: Te laves-tu?

How to make this in negation?

I'm curious about the adjective placement in "fervent défenseur." Would it be equally correct to say "un défenseur fervent" as a way to start this sentence?

Is 'un pique-nique' really a packed lunch in French and not a picnic?  Could you say "J'ai pris un pique-nique au travail" and it means some food that you took from home and ate at work?  I always assumed 'un pique-nique' was really the same as in English, taking food from home to sit and eat outside somewhere in the sun.

in lesson it says to use quelqu'un for a question, making it sound like should use n'importe qui for all other affirmative anyone. Yet question stating? stole my bag  n'importe qui is marked wrong and quelqu'un is stated as correct answer.

I'm missing something, could anyone plaese explain? thanks

Can we say … je n’essoufflais  plus instead of of je n’étais plus éssoufflé ?

This is nit-picking, I know, but please allow me to question the literal English translation you gave in one example in the dates lesson.  In English the year 2013 (twenty thirteen) is not as the example suggests, literally "two thousand thirteen".  It is literally "twenty hundred thirteen".  Just as 2022 is literally "twenty hundred twenty-two", etc.  We might have chosen the alternative pronunciation of 2013 as "two thousand and thirteen", but that would not be twenty thirteen.  When we say "twenty thirteen" we are literally saying twenty hundred thirteen, not "two thousand thirteen".

2013 (deux mille treize)

2013 (twenty thirteen -> literally "two thousand thirteen")

P.S.  Parallèlement, on étudient les mathématiques et la langue française.  Incroyable!  :-)

The quiz asked for you and she. (You and she need to make a decision.) I wrote elle et vous which was wrong. It had to be toi et elle. Why?
