celui-ci, celui-là, etc.

Hi,

I have seen celui-ci, celui-là, celle-ci, etc. used in text and I believe I have even seen them covered in a French class. I've looked, but can't seem to find any lesson that covers them on this site. Would you be able to explain when and how they are used as compared to simply celui, celle, etc as covered in this lesson?

thanks, Scott

Kwiziq ScoringI was trying to improve my previous A1 & A2 grades and remove the light yellow areas in my brain map and it seems impossible to get above 84.6%. I'd be right at 84.6% and then get a succession of 10/10 results and my score would drop to 84.5%. I could then work back to 84.6% slowly - but I couldn't ever seem to get above that result and the yellow areas in my brain map stayed depressingly un-green.

If 'lui' means him or her why does 'vous lui dites' mean 'you tell him...' And not 'you tell her...'

Forms in l'impératif Why do some verbs conjugate in the il/elle form if the lesson says there can only be tu/nous/vous? Example Donne-lui, Regarde-le etc. I am confused.

Translating " J'ai l'habitude de me coucher tard"I think in English present tense that "I usually got to bed late" works best with above

Pronunciation of "petite"When she says "Quand j’étais petite" the last word does not sound like it starts with "p" to me. It sounds like "tetite". I listened several times and I just don't hear the initial "p" sound. Is it just me? What should I be listening for to be sure I hear the "p" sound?

Pronunciation of 'tandis que' ?

The pronunciation of 'tandis que' in this exercise has the 's' pronounced quite clearly (sounds like tandisse que). I wondered if this was an optional way to pronounce it, as I thought that the final 's' is usually silent in this word ?
