I speak of herI'm confused why "I speak of her" is "Je parle d'elle" as my first instinct would be to say "je l'en parle". What am I missing here? Thanks.

There is a question in one of the tests. Where is qui is not accepted as the answer . Why so?The question is pasted below. Why the answer should be Qu'est-ce qui and not qui while in the lesson both are used interchangably. ____________________vous avez envie de revoir ? Who[m] do you want to see again?

C'est une voiture d'occasion?- Non, elle ou c'est...Shouldn't the second sentence in this example read, Non, c'est neuf or Non, c'est nouveau, with a masculine adjective?

Is "de" or "d' " used before Ouagadougou?The pronunciation of the capital of Burkina Faso starts with a "w" sound, so I'm wondering if one says DE Ouagadougou or D'Ouagadougou. The word begins with a vowel (well, three actually!), but since the pronunciation is not of the 'o' sound, I'm wondering if 'de' is used. Thanks for your help!

Dernière foisI got this wrong: "C'était la dernière fois que tu m'as dit que tu m'aimais." means: Mauvais: It was last time that you told me you loved me. Correcte: It was the last time you told me you loved me Was it the last of several times and in that last time 'tu m'a dit que tu m'aimais.' Or... Was it the last time (of several times 'tu m'a dit que tu m'aimais') ? The former implies something like 'in our last meeting you told me you loved me.' The latter implies the final time you told me you love me (and you have not since) Me me suis perplexe.
