French language Q&A Forum

I have to say I start to sweat when this question shows up on my tests, because I will ALWAYS get it wrong.  I have read the lesson over and over and it seems like I will decided that I should use c'est because there is a determiner, but then it tells me to use elle or il.  Then I use il or elle because there isn't a determiner and it will tell me to use c'est.  I feel like all the lessons help me, and I see my mistakes, but this one is not helping me.  Any other way to explain this to me?

Why don't you use the article "un" with demi-tour?  I was marked wrong for that.

For the phrase « he only ate sweets » the  was given as « il n’a que mangé… » . Why isn’t it « il n’a mangé que… »?

How to use negation with futur proche?

HI was wondering when I took the test the sentence un orgre grand comme un maison was said to be correct but, I thought grand would go before ogre. 

Thanks

If On is used to say we as a group with which you're familiar with and are part of, does that mean saying it for other groups or just random groups of people means it becomes "One Or People" ? And do French speakers receive it as so ?

Why is the imperfect used in the phrase "si je pouvais remonter le temps" rather than the conditional?

About 'face the facts', is it also correct to translate it as ' faire face aux réalités'. 

I think 'faire face à ' is a very common expression.
