More on personne vs aucun

R.e. this question:

Tous les gosses y vont, mais ________ prend le train.

User "Lolli" in Jan 2018 asked if "personne ne" would also be correct in this sentence (in addition to the "correct" answer of "aucun ne"). I think that in spoken conversation, "personne ne" would be acceptable and convey equivalent meaning. There hasn't yet been a definitive response as to whether "personne ne" is acceptable grammatically.

Can anyone provide definitive guidance on this?

(Maybe the kwiziq website logic can't accommodate unanticipated responses?)

Hi! Can I ask why there is an agreement in the phrase “ m’a gâchée la vie”? I thought the direct object was “la vie” which does not precede the verb.

What is the rule?

I don’t see any rule offered as to when to use faire de or jouer à. In fact the samples provided include both, “Il fair du tennis” and “Il joue à tennis.” Is there a rule as to when to use one or the other?

quand j'en aurai fini avec tout cela

In the writing challenge "At Uncle Robert's 70th birthday" we are asked to translate "when I'm done with all that".

The suggested answers both use "en". E.g. "quand j'en aurai fini avec tout cela".

I wonder why "en" is required? I expect it to replace "de qqch" but in this sentence isn't that role - specifying what is being finished - supplied by "avec tout cela"?

Is there a lesson on Kwiziq that gives an example of this usage? It is not really included in En can replace de + [phrase] (French Adverbial Pronouns)
