Le maillot de bain

Is there a difference between a swimsuit for a boy and a swimsuit for a girl? For example in English boys wear swim shorts or swim trunks is there a separate word for that in French? Thanks

is it "vous êtes qui" always?So if I'm asking to a group of people "Who are you?" the question would be the same as if I'd be asking that to a single person?? Is it vous êtes qui, no matter what? I was expecting it to be like "quis" or some plural there

Tout va bien chez vousHi - just a bit confused on this one. I noticed we have used va and not allez, but we have used vous and not toi (ie va with toi, and allez with vous). Is that because "va" is referring to "Tout" being masculine singular and not the person we are talking to? ie - can you say "tout va bien chez toi" to someone familiar or is this a fixed expression..??

Y vs là vs là-bas

Hi, could you please explain the difference in using y/là/là-bas

For example,

I'm going to the beach tonight

Je vais y aller ce soir

Je vais aller là ce soir

Je vais aller là-bas ce soir

Is there a difference in these phrases?

Je ne pense pas que je puisse le faire

Hi Aurélie, In the very first example you use the subjunctive with the same subject Je ne pense pas que je puisse le faire. I thought that I had read a rule saying there must be two different subjects. ??
