Une mère dit a son fils "Qu'est-ce qui t’intéresse beaucoup?"

Une mère dit a son fils ce qui l’intéresse beaucoup   or  Une mère dit a son fils ce qui lui intéresse beaucoup. 

Please clarify.  TIA.                                                                                                            

it could be a strong belief so why marked wrong in favour of penser

If I point to a tarte (little cake), which is a feminine word, and say “It’s me who made this” (not the most elegant phrase, but bear with me), should I say “C'est moi qui l'ai fait” or “C'est moi qui l'ai faite”? 

I’m trying to tease out whether the “past participle agreement with direct object when before the verb” rule applies even if the feminine object has not been *linguistically* referenced (only referenced, visually, or implicitly in some other way).

Hello,

So If I'm understanding this correctly when the definite article is before a noun it remains when the verb is negative?

il aime le Café et le chocolate.

Il n'aime ni le Café ni le chocolate

But if the indefinite or partitive article is before a noun in an affirmative sentence the article is then removed when negative?

Elle commande de l'eau et du vin.

Elle ne commande ni eau ni vin.

Thanks

Nicole

The vernacular usage for "vers" with time appears to drop the determinate.  This doesn't appear to be true for the other usages of "vers".

Après _être rentrée_chez elle, Martine a fait une sieste.

After going back home, Martine had a nap

Elles rentrent après que le bus les a déposées.

''They go home after the bus has dropped them off.'' ?

Why does one sentence require ‘chez elle’ and the other not?

saying "literally - and we completely remade my wardrobe" isn't quite right when you've missed out "together"? I feel like these hints aren't helpful and in fact hinder my progress in the text as they aren't "literal" at all. Plus in that sentence, to say "we bought me a new wardrobe" isn't quite what a native English person would say, they'd simply say "and we bought a new wardrobe (for me). 

Hope this can be of use and makes sense from my point of view. 

The English sentence, "...know that nearly 150 nudist beaches are dotted along the French coastline." uses dotted.  The translation uses 'jalonner'.  I was wondering if 'parsemer' could be used in this context.
