Why is this correct? (Qu'est-ce que c'est vs. quel est...)I asked about this previously and I am still confused.
I did a quiz before and it asked how you would ask "what is this" or something to that effect. And it didn't accept "quelle est..." as the correct answer.
The answer I had received is that quelle needs to be followed by a noun. However, previously, my French teachers would say questions like "Quelle est la date?", so I was very confused. Is that phrase incorrect?
Furthermore, I was doing another quiz and got this question:
Quel est le nom ___ restaurant ?
And I was confused why you could ask "what is the name of the restaurant" and use "quel est" and not "qu'est-ce que c'est" or "c'est quoi".
Basically, I'm not understanding if/when you can use "quel est.." or "quelle est..".
Thank you!

Are "les gens" and "les personnes" interchangeable, or does "les gens" mean "people in general" and "les personnes" mean "people, considered as individuals"? (This is the fun, and puzzling, part of learning a language - understanding nuances.)
I am confused by the repeat of vous in this question and also in "Vous vous appelez M.Durand." Is this standard?

I have a student who was taking an A0 test. She was asked how to say "Marie, you are a student." and was given the prompt 'Marie tu...'. She answered 'Marie tu es élève.' and Kwizbot told her that she was wrong, that it should be 'Marie tu es étudiante." Why would 'élève be incorrect? I was under the impression that they were interchangeable, so I need to understand the usage differences...
