Why "comment s'est passé ton séjour en Alsace en famille " And NOT "comment est-ce que ton séjour en Alsace en famille s'est passé"

Please explain

Since se rappeler can be used both with and without de, are these cases fine?

1) Je me rappelle de la voyage -> je m'en rappelle. 

2) Je me rappelle la voyage -> je me la rappelle.

3) Je me rappelle Jean -> je me le rappelle.

Why is it not "Non, ici rien n'est PAS cher"?  

I saw in a previous post that you refer us to Ne ... rien = Nothing (French Negations), but this says that you don't need "pas" in situations where you use a different word in place of "pas"...  so you could use "n'est rien" instead of "n'est pas".  But in the text above, "rien" is already in the sentence, so we shouldn't repeat it, right?  So, where is the "PAS"?  Or can any adjective simply replace the "pas"?

Please clarify... et merci beaucoup!

- Can I use "chez la teinturerie" instead of "au pressing"?

- Can I use "ce n'est pas grand-chose" instead of "ce n'est pas grave"?

- Can I use "de nouveau" instead of "encore"? Please walk me through this.

- Can I use "de secours" instead of "en réserve or de côté"?

Why "au praliné" and not "au praline"?

the logement hint is in the wrong section

In England, if you ask 95% of the populace if they use the word 'whom' they will look at you with a puzzled expression. Stop confusing french learners with this extinct conundrum.   Move on

A multiple choice question I got gave me the options of (1) “La porte fait un mètre de large.”, (2) “La porte a un mètre de large.”, (3) “La porte est un mètre de largeur.”, (4) “La porte est large d'un mètre.”. According to the dictionary I use, you can use avoir, too, and it gives the example of “Ce meuble a 45 cm de large.”; however, the quizz insists only (1) and (4) are correct. Who’s right?
