I get that "magasin" is generally a retail outlet & "commerce" is more for small business, but I've seen them used interchangeably. In the States "boutique" is usually for high-end or very niche-oriented items, but that doesn't always seem to track en français.

Personne n’a oublié ________ billet.

Having this question in the quiz, I understand why the answer should be "son". What I don't understand is why there is no "pas" in the negative expression? (n'a oublié pas son billet)?

plaindrais/plaindraitHi, should “ce n'est pas moi qui m'en plaindrais” in fact be “ce n'est pas moi qui m'en plaindrait” as she’s talking about herself in the third-person, and qui ‘stands in for’ a third-person il/elle or ils/elles subject (at least in my layman’s understanding).

Inconsistency in object pronouns with parler and penser

I'm curious about why we say "Je lui parle", but "Je pense à lui. Can we say, "Je parle à lui" and Je lui pense"? Why does "parler" use an indirect object pronoun and "penser" use a stress pronoun? What is the reasoning behind this? Is it something to do with the meaning of the verbs, or is there no logic to it?

When to use à + qui versus auquel/à laquelle

I am wondering when I should use à qui versus auquel/à laquelle.

For the sentence: The girls who I am thinking about are pretty.

I said: les filles auxquelles je pense sont jolies.

But the correct answer was: les filles à qui je pense sont jolies.

What is the difference between these two ways of writing the sentence? Thank you!
