The confusion between "nous" and "ils/elles" in French verb conjugations, especially for regular -ER verbs in the present tense,

Hi everyone :)

Could you please explain to me why we use "avoir à" instead of "avoir besoin de"?
Also, at what moment/time we use "avoir à"?

Thank you in advance for your time and respond.

Would décéler also work instead of identifier?

I was watching a short youtube video in which, if I understood the gist of it, a bilingual gentleman was giving students advice in how to translate.  I thought I heard him address his audience repeatedly by 'tu'. I don't know if it was a tongue in cheek humour or was he being unusually familiar, The video was here:

Merci.

I love how she can roll the r three or more times on the word "cruel"!  J'aime comment elle peut rouler le r trois ou plus temps avec the mot "cruel".  (Did I get this correct?)  ;)

This is clearly C1 level listening. Too hard

Why is "Merci de m'avoir aidé aujourd'hui, c'était super !" not translated as "Thank you for having helped me today" It’s not the same thing as ‘thank you for helping me’ – or is it?

If ce qui/ ce que is supposed to be used to refer to a part of a sentence/ an idea, instead of just a single word, then why does this sentence use ce que?:

"C'est tout ce que j'ai dit"

I know that 'tout' could be considered a general idea, but why is ce que not used in this sentence, when 'quelque chose' is also a general idea?:

"C'est quelque chose que j'ai dit"
