Can I use cequi here?

Bonjour,

In this example:

Regarde ces filles. Celle qui court s'appelle Sophia

Can I use "Ce qui" instead of "Celle qui" as follows (remember ce qui, ce que, ce dont)?

Regarde ces filles. Ce qui court s'appelle Sophie

Merci d'avance.

Bien et Tout

Again, the use of little words like "bien" and "tout" are common in French and not direct translations from English. A unit explaining the uses of these two simple words would be really helpful.

"Il a bien compris." "Il a tout compris." "J'en ai bien envie." "Elle est tout heureuse." "Il y a bien de choses." "Il est a des kilometres de toute trace de civilisation."

Not trying to be a pest, but I would really like to master these simple little words and phrases to feel closer to fluent. Thanks.

why use conditional after au cas où

You explain that following au cas où, you would be tempted to use the subjunctive, but must use the conditional, but you do not say why?

Passé Compose vs Imparfait

Why is “j’ai toujours eu une passion pour les etoiles” in the passé compose and not in the Imparfait? Does not “toujours” indicate it is an on-going situation and therefore it would be in the imparfait? I still have so much trouble with using these tenses correctly.

Thanks.
