I translated this as 'continue à inspirer'

Could you explain when to use 'continuer de' and when to use 'continuer à'?

Merci

I love these translations although they are very humbling. 

Is there a simple explanation for why "de" is needed in "Tu as de la chance" but not in "La voiture à la droite a la priorité?  Merci!

Since girls are hugging each other… why are we not using s’enlacées  ? 

Does the phrase …..(aller) mieux que…” introduce the subjunctive mood?

When can you use  in past tense or 

Hello! How can I correctly invite someone to walk to the park with me? Thank you!

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.

Here it is 

‚c‘est M.Dupont qui était responsable…‘

Is this an expression that always uses the present tense followed by the imperfect? Could you use imperfect and imperfect in this example ……c‘était M. Dupont qui était…..

Thank you 

The sentence starting with - 

Oui, le buffet est ouvert - 

Do you not pronounce the second syllable of buffet?

I've been taught this phrase in another course but never really understood its use -  ça y est. It was presented to me as one of those catchall phrases for "yes, that's right!", "yeah, that's it" as a somewhat utterance one makes to ones self (or to others) that you've been suddenly successful at something or an acknowledgment that you're at least on the right track. So I used this here instead of "c'est ça". Did I use it correctly? I actually had "c'est ça" first but then I changed it to see if I had actually finally found a way to use "ça y est" correctly.

(By the way, why can't I use the hold down the keyboard trick to apply accents, etc in this Q & A box? I have to admit it prevents me oftentimes from asking questions since I can't be precise.)
