Qui est-ce qui or qui est-ce que?I'm confused on when to use 'qui est-ce qui or qui est-ce que at the beginning of a sentence'. In each case the translation was 'who did such and such'.One or the other have been given as a correct answer but I haven't worked out which one for which circumstance. What is the rule please.

None of the "hints" are showing up with the quiz questions.For example: HINT: virer de l'argent = to wire money HINT: Conjugate "s'habiller" in Le Plus-que-Parfait

Why is this correct and the other not?Why is je mets mes chaussures où d'habitude? correct but when you invert the verb and keep the rest the same it is incorrect? Per the quiz "mets-je mes chaussures où d'habitude? is incorrect. I didn't choose either of them as it seemed strange to have the où in the middle like that but was surprised to see one of them was in fact correct. Please explain. Thanks.

Do we say the word cent after the "cents"In the sound files in this lesson it sounds like they are saying the word "cent" after the cents for currency. Is that correct? I went back to the lesson on decimals and they don't pronounce it that way on that lesson or am I just hearing it wrong? Example Ça coûte 1,20 € le litre. They appear to say "un euro vingt cent". Thanks

Why is there an 's' on lu?In statement: il les a tous lus (he has read all of them) why is there an s on lus? It is: il a lu so I presume it's got something to do with tous but I'd like an explanation if possible.

Celui or le mienJ'aime ton chien mais je préfère ________ que j'ai adopté. I love your dog but I prefer the one I adopted. celui (program correct response) le mien (my response) So given this question, I chose «le mien» since the questioned required a typed in response but the correct answer according to the program is «celui»; however, to me «le mien» is also a correct response. Can you please explain the reason it would not be correct? Merci en avance.

Weekend challengeWhy is it "en Dordogne" rather than " à Dordogne"? I have bee learning " en," for countries and "à" for cities/towns. Is that not how it is?
