Bonjour!

Once again, (toujours!) I chose the wrong relative pronoun. I wrote "ce que" in the B2 writing challenge, as I thought "that" referred to the fact that it snowed last night (a whole idea, not just a noun). The correct answer was "que". Below, is the correct sentence from the exercise:

Il a tellement neigé la nuit dernière (it snowed so much last night)

que le jardin était (re)couvert d’un épais manteau blanc (that the garden was convered with a thick white coat)

Can someone please explain why que is the correct answer in this sentence, instead of ce que?

Amicalement, Cheryl

You have these two examples:

 Ne la lui écris pas!  (Don't write it to her!)

Ne me le donne pas! (Don't give it to me!)

I see the underline under me le but I don't know how to interpret it.  In the first example you have direct object (la) then indirect object (lui).  In the second example the reverse: indirect object (me) then direct object (le).  Is there a rule here that I'm missing?

Thank you
