During the lesson it is explained to use lui/leur when you have the "à" before the object and to use la/le/les when there is a possessive pronoun before, for example:

"Il va appeler ses parents" --> "Il va les appeler"

So why using lui in this case?

In another lesson, it talks about not using mon, ton etc but using le, la etc. with clothing and parts of the body. Therefore, would it be better to say

"Le manteau est pareil, et la cravate est pareille " rather than "Mon manteau est pareil, et ma cravate est pareille" 

or can you say both or does it depend upon context?

Thanks

In the lesson below, it is stated that "se coucher" means "to go to bed"

Conjugate reflexive verb se coucher in the present tense in French (Le Présent)

However, when I wrote "puis il se couche" as corresponding sentence for "then he goes to bed" in the last part of the exercise, it was marked as a mistake and the correct one shown as "puis il va se coucher"

Could you please advise which one is correct ? or have I misunderstood something ?

I understand that "Gregory part pour les vacances." works and seems to match the following less example most closely: "Nous irons en Guadeloupe pour les vacances."

However, I don't understand how durant and pendant also work with this example. Can someone kindly explain it as I don't see how it matches the examples in the lesson. Thanks in advance!
