This is more a comment than a question. I found this to be a difficult exercise. For one thing, the vocabulary is not taught in a typical French class. Words like laptop, headline, online etc are useful to know but not common. Also, there were so many ways to say the same thing. Sometimes the answers included alternate responses, sometimes not. I was taught (and use) "les nouvelles" for the news. I have never seen "les infos" before this exercise.

Hi, Ive just done the question 'What does Je lui parle mean? to which I answered I am speaking to him, and I am speaking to her (I ticked both boxes.) My answer was marked nearly right but my understanding is that lui can refer to both him or her. Can you explain why it was marked this way please.
In an earlier lesson, we learned that for normal verbs, inversion is usually too formal. People usually say the sentence with an upward inflection or use Est-ce que.
Is that not so in the case of reflexive verbs?
So are they synonyms?
quand il était bébé -why is there no article before baby.?
The group à + [people] becomes simply their matching indirect pronoun, as follows:
Don’t certain verbs require a tonic (stress) pronoun after à, rather than the indirect object pronoun before the verb ?
For example - "Je pense à vous" "Tu dois faire attention à lui"
