Qu'est-ce que c'est qu'un stylo vs Qu'est-ce que c'est un styloThe examples give both the options for un stylo but the Kwiz I just did only accepts Qu'est-ce que c'est qu'un gendarme, and Qu'est-ce que c'est un gendarme is marked wrong. Is there something different between un gendarme and un stylo that mandates using Qu'est-ce que c'est qu'?

"belle" after of before noun?

Hi

I was taking a test and I saw the following statement:

"une fillette belle comme une fleur"

I tought it is wrong but it was marked as correct. Shouldn't "belle" come before "fillette"? like this sentecne?

"une belle fillette comme une fleur"

Why is there "de" after "changer"? Just as we see in your example: "Je devrai changer de vêtements" why not "les" or "des"?
I always wondered about this, and very interested to find out answer (if there is a specific rule, or it's just one more thing we have to cram)

Why I think of them is je pense à eux ?

Why don't we use indirect object pronouns like je leur pense ?

One of the examples is: Nous viendrons à 9 heures. Ça vous va ?

Instead of Ça vous va ? would you say Ça vous êtes? Thank you

'You don't have to'Something I've always struggled with in France is when I don't want to say 'You must not', but rather 'You don't have to', for example: I don't want to say, 'You must not come straight away', but rather, 'You don't have to come straight away'. Can somebody point me to a good lesson on this, or let me know how to do it?
