This question was asked in a TV show I watched today: “…mais est-ce que lui voudra te voir?” My question is why is lui used instead of il?
I've been wondering if there are definite rules as to whether one adds a "de" sometimes, but sometimes I go awry with an incorrect guess. At present it seems to me that a noun after the second "de" is safe enough. Am I right? The help from the quick lessons is immensely helpful, but thus far I haven't found one which would solve my problem with rules for the 'De's'.

Selon Tom, elles seraient rentrées chez elles vers 3h.
According to Tom, they went home (lit.would have gone home) around 3.
The French sounds as if it should be translated as the time they "got home" whereas the English "went home" implies it is the time they left -- time travel ?
It seems that the examples are in bad taste. Do French people talk about people so subjectively?
The only time polite people talk about appearances is when they are describing a person wanted by police for a crime.
Does "des lèvres minces" also work?
if it's talking about all those subjects being foreign, then the English is very misleading because that's not what I understood from it at all. I also agree with other comments saying how a lot of what's in these exercises are not covered in lessons. For example I have never seen the expression "en quoi" and don't really get why it's used here? Why is there no lesson on this and yet it's expected as the only correct answer to one of these questions?
and why is there "d'" in "mon but est D'avoir ma licence"??il se maquille - he is making himself up; il se fait maquiller - he is having his make up done - is this right?
Bonjour. J'ai une question. La lettre t en huit est muette lorsqu'on prononce un chiffre, par exemple 800. est-ce la même chose pour août par exemple le 10 août 2021 ?
Correct answer : de peur qu'il n'y ait une fuite de gaz. Can de peur qu'il ne soit une fuite de gaz be used to mean the same thing ?
