Lui or la

Kwiz question " we see her tonight" answer "nous la voyons cet soir". I think it should be "nous lui voyons...if you follow the quick lesson.

Doubt regarding one of the B1 tests

I was taking one of the B1 tests and came across this problem. Could you please explain.

For "Do you know what happened?" I was marked wrong for "Savez-vous qu'est-ce qui s'est passé ?"

Only "Savez-vous ce qui s'est passé ?" is accepted. I feel my answer should be accepted.

Une virgule

I'm being very picky with the punctuation here (but then again the little robot is often very picky about my punctuation, especially in the dictations haha). In the first sentence there should be a comma (and not a full-stop) in between "un petit déjeuner différent" and "ce qui peut rendre les matins un peu compliqués". (The corresponding English sentence did have the comma here.)

Compound nouns

Please help me "amis fumeurs", is that a compound noun like le service client, etc, help me explain it. Can I use "des amis qui fument (friends who smoke), somehow, it's similar to smoker friends, right?

Understanding time

HI everyone,

So to my understanding reading the previous answers to the questions unambiguously would mean both am and pm?

Also I know the two different ways to say the numbers in both 12 hour and 24hour but, and as I'm reading the responses it seems that past 6pm you would use like deux treize quatroze etc. Would I be correct and if it's past midnight would it be the same?

Thanks

Nicole

When to use what?

How do we know when to use the verb “avoir” or when we have to use the verb “être”? Or is that something we just need to memorize?
