I can’t work out when it is “ce qui/ce que” or “qui/que”… I.e. when does “Ce” go in front of qui/que? Thank you

Use of 'Arriver a (with accent)

In the two examples above, the expression ''They can't believe'' is translated as Ils n'arrivent pas a croire. I believe it could also be translated as Ils ne peuvent pas croire. If so, is there a preference in spoken French?

Why is “nous n’avons pas eu” translated as “we never have” rather than “we never had”

I got the sentence “Nous n’avons pas eu....” wrong because I translated it as “We never had...”

So is this verb expression only applied with people? How about non-people subjects? i.e. a work being part of a series, a country part of the EU...

Environ

When the question "Je suis partie ___ jours" (I left for about fifteen days) is encountered in a quiz it may not be originating from this lesson yet the answer "pour environ quinze" is not accepted. Shouldn't it be? Aren't both this and "pour une quinzaine de" equally valid French here?

I can find examples of the environ version on the web including here:
