What does this mean, kindly illustrate it with an example.

When the subject of your interrogative sentence is a noun, this one comes first and it's then repeated by the matching pronoun

Hi all, I am not getting my head around the sentence- C'est la fameuse "auberge espagnole" du titre.. why is du titre at the end. thanks 

Why does the last sentence use the impersonal construction, "Pourquoi se priver" instead of "nous priver"? 

Also, I translated "namely" as "en l'occurrence" but that wasn't one of the accepted answers (only "nommément" and "à savoir"). Is there a difference?

Why is the answer to this:  Sarah ________ la salade à Michel.

se passe as opposed to passe?  

Isn't this a simple act of passing something, as in the first example, "passer quelque chose"?  I understood that it only needed the reflexive pronoun for something happening or someone doing without something.   Can you enlighten me?

Thanks.

What is wrong with saying “j’ai trouvé 

leur livre” for “I found their book”? Isn’t it the same as “j’ai trouvé le livre des enfants “?

Could someone please explain what "aidée" is agreeing with here? Why is it feminine?

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Khyatee, mais je me fais appeler Kat.

I believe it's right but I'm not sure how to specify that Kat is a nickname/preferred name.

Why do you use “à la” with New-Orleans (On va à la Nouvelle-Orléans la semaine prochaine) if there is no article in the name of Nouvelle-Orléans? Is it because it’s a feminine noun? Do I have to use “à la” and “de la” with all feminine nouns OR only with the ones that start with the feminine articles?

Why is "rapports" plural in the first sentence?

Also, in the second sentence, why is there no article before "amis" ("On était amis"), but in another sentence, there is an article ("qu'on soit plus que des amis")?
