Why is it c'est here and not il?
Tu aimes le violet ? Oui, c'est très joli! 

Hi all I used ( tandis que ) instead of pendant que, in the first line.  and it marked it as an erreur. any explanation for that please?.thanks.

Why is it 'cote d'Azure' but 'cote atlantique'?

Pendant des années, je me suis plié en quatre pour arranger les choses entre nous...

t's describing something habitual that happened over a long period of tim.  It's in the middle of a longer passage also in the imparfait setting the scene for a discrete action to come....  

Thanks in advance for the insights I know you will provide.

I am not sure why it is not que chaque esclave, or que tous les esclaves...?

I’m sorry if this is a technical question, but I can’t see where else to ask it! The writing exercises are taxing but very rich in information, especially in the multiple alternative answers. It’s quite frustrating that if you don’t note these down at the time (or scroll back through the exercise right away) there isn’t a way of retrieving them without repeating the whole exercise. Maybe that is intended? The links to the grammar points are well covered but do not actually include the quite wide range of vocabulary and idiomatic expressions, ie the different ways of translating the same thing. 

Given that we are talking about a near term thing, why isn’t this better: viens boire un verre, ça va te redonner des forces?
