Hi, in a reversed expression such as
Qu'est-ce qui te plaît chez Anna ?
which is the subject and which is the object?
I’m guessing that the subject is that aspect of Anna’s personality which causes ‘you’ to like her. Therefore, since ‘you’ receive pleasure from that part of her personality, ‘you’ are the object.
Is that correct?
Thanks in advance!
Le chalet : It is one of those words - does the ‘a’ have a roof over it or not ? According to my Oxford English-French dictionary no, which is why i’m going with that spelling, but the American English - French dictionary could well say otherwise. Google translate is without too
This was my first time coming across the inverted questions.. 'puis je'
I read the lesson that that's more formal and 'est-ce que' is used more colloquially. I thought you could always replace est-ce que with just the interogative + subject + verb so I put 'Que je peux faire...' which was marked wrong. Is this wrong with these inverted questions?
And also in the lesson it mentioned "statement order"'questions being a possibility. What are these?
I wonder if the audio file for "Nous peignons ensemble" is correct. It sounded like "peignions" to me, and it doesn't sound the same as in the youtube. Or are there two different pronunciations for "peignons"?

In the ceci/cela lesson, cela dit is translated as 'that said' though the verb is in the present tense. Is there a 'rule' for this or is it simply idiomatic?
Merci!
