I can meet her today

I can meet her today = je peux la rencontrer aujourd'hui.

Why do we use "la" instead of "lui'? I'm confused as to when to use le and lui, la and lui. What's the difference?

Depuis with present tense or imparfait ?

We are always told that depuis is always used with present tense.

1. J‘habite en France depuis 6 ans…. Here depuis is being used with present tense.

2. Quand j’avais l’opportunité de choisir la langue à l’école, mon choix était fait depuis longstemps…… here we are using imparfait with depuis.

Pls explain

However, today my answer with « qu’est-ce que » was marked wrong
