Why is tout le monde correct but not chacun? Both are pronouns

Bonjour! In French, how do you know in math equations when to use "font" or "égale" for equals?

I had to complete a worksheet where it marked me wrong for writing "Neuf cent soixante-six moins trois cent quarante-deux font six cent vingt-quatre." It told me the right answer was the exact same sentence, but with "égale" instead of "font."

However, it marks "Deux cents plus trois cents font cinq cents" correctly.

Can someone please explain why and when to use each word?

I read somewhere that ne ... pas and ne ...point were the first negative constructions in the evolution of the French language. I can just imagine someone trekking through the woods in Old French times and saying, "Not another step."  Or a tired monk in some scriptorium copying over an illegible text and saying, "Not another period."

Who's there?  Who is answering these questions?  To whom am I addressing this note?

I would truly like those questions answered.  I would also like to know why, when reviewing my incorrect responses on a quiz and tapping "discuss this" button, I'm directed back to the lesson that just taught me the incorrect answer.  I want a reasonable discussion regarding my answer and why it was incorrect.  Because, as far as I am concerned, the answer is correct according to the sentences in the lesson.  Directing me back to those sentences just proves to me and my novice, uneducated mind that I am correct.  -SLS

What would the difference in meaning be if you just said 'Avant d'avoir leurs nouvelles'?

What is the infinitive of envie in this context: avoid envie de

is envie a verb?

I could not find photocopier in the Library Index so used Larousse online dictionnaire. This gave both photocopieur (n.m.) and photocopieuse (n.f.)  I chose the masculin form so did not mark myself down.  Is there a reason to prefer the feminin form?

Not sure who to ask this question, or if it is the wrong box.

How is that I can read French, paper, books etc, but have problems with speaking and writing the language.

I really would like an answer as my feedback is not really helpful

Why is "Je lui envoye une massage" instead of "Je l'envoye une massage?" Thanks

Bonjour l'équipe

Pourquoi le mot "bassin" a été utilisé dans la texte au lieu de " piscine" ? Dans quelles circonstances on utilise chaque mot ?? Dans les phrases finales, pourquoi "la piscine" n'est pas accepté par l'outil ?

Cette langue est inutilement très compliqué et  vraiment très énervante! Désolée, mais c'est le vérité :(
