Why is it that in some cases you use lui and in others you use elle?

Does anyone know what that sentence means? In English, please.

It's the first sentence in this lesson.

Thanks.

Hello , to my understanding , there are 2 types of question ,formal and informal . But what type is this that the question "Combien coûte ce livre ?" belongs to ?, Because it's not follow the formulas for formal type ( Est-ce que or inversion ) . And it's not also follow the formula itonation for informal type (question word + statement itonation) like Combien ce livre coûte ?. Why combien is an adverb but can be followed by a verb (coûte).  So it confuses me here  . Can you explain for me please ?

The correct grammar would be to say: None of them is.... i.e. 'none' is treated as singular and hence the use of 'is' and not 'are'. Thanks again for a fantastic French course!

If I say je ne pense pas que cest une bonne idee is it cest or ce soit Paul 

For example “I just got here. I’ll be staying for an hour”
