Hi. I understand that one could say "Je donne les requins à Anne" (i.e. "I am giving the sharks to Anne...imagine that Anne is a marine biologist) or "Je les donne à Anne" (i.e. I am giving them to Anne) or Je les lui donne" (i.e. I am giving them to her). However, how would one say "I am giving Anne to the sharks" (imagine that Anne has upset the local mafia) using a double pronoun (i.e. "I am giving her to them"? Presumably, one cannot say "Je lui les donne" (because it would violate the rules on the order of pronouns)? What about "Je y lui donne"? Any help gratefully received.

Why is “You remind him of Audrey Hepburn." ? Translated into “Tu lui rappelles Audrey Hepburn.”

Isn’t it missing an “à” as per lesson guidelines? Shouldn’t it be “Tu rappelles Audrey Hepburn à lui”?

The speakers in this dialogue (a tutor and an adult student who already know each other) used the inversion form to pose questions. Wouldn’t we expect them to use the less formal « est-ce que » form in these circumstances?

Hi, i've noticed in some sentences like 'Demain, on doit se lever tôt' they use Lever instead of Leve, when should i be using Lever.

Hi I'm Christa. Bonjour, je m'appelle Christa. Is this the right way to say specifically where I live?

I knew that in inverted questions you use the subjunctive after verbs like 'Pensez-vous...'  If you start the question however with 'Est-ce que vous pensez...?' does that rule about the subjunctive not apply?  I ask because I had put 'Est-ce que vous pensez que ce soit un problème structurel' and this was marked with a correction to '.......c'est' instead of 'ce soit'

Fish which Japanese people love (raffoler de) are becoming extinct.

Les poissons dont les japonais raffolent de sont en voie de disparition.

Why is the sont conjugated as well, I thought two verbs couldn't follow each other in conjugated form. I though that one needed to be in infinif form.
