Is the underlying phrase here "faire de [qch] la référence en la matière"? What does it mean exactly, and is it common?

"this classic French dessert" = "ce dessert classique français" and "the melted lemon butter" =" le beurre fondu à citron"  How do I know which adjective goes first? 

wow this story is so intresting

The speech for "parmi lesquelles un quiz de l'année qui vient de s'écouler, " is extremely unclear, and I was unable to figure it out. I played it to someone who is a native French speaker, and she couldn't figure it out either. It's the "quiz de l'année" part that is really bad.

"J'en ai vu une autre hier qui avait un grenier et un sous-sol, ce qui serait parfait..." I thought of this as BOTH attic and basement being useful for storage and used third person plural, "seraient."  Why wasn't this correct?

Hi, 

I was wondering for for using il or c'est in this sentence. Que penses-tu de mon canape? ____ est tres joli. Since it is a specific item mon canape I would use il est? I was going to use c'est tres cause when you have the verb etre your suppose to use c'est but, in this sentence to me it seems specific so I would use il est in this case. Am i correct?

this is a question in the kwiziq

Thanks

Nicole

Can you explain when to choose toi in place of tu?
