Ce vs ça

In the sentence 'Il semblerait que, de nos jours, personne ne soit capable de se passer de son portable, et ce, même pendant la nuit' why is 'ce' used rather than 'ça' ?

passé composé vs. l'imparfait In the sentence "donc ce n'était pas trop compliqué !"
Why was l'imparfait used? I thought lepassé composé would be a best fit for the sentence.

Hello: Would the translation be the same for the above? I have looked through the discussion and am still not sure.

Chacun, chacune, chaque change order in title

The phrases on the two sides of the "=" in the title are not parallel, so this makes it confusing from the get-go as to which is the pronoun and which are indefinite adjectives. I suggest changing it to "Chaque, chacun, chacune = each, each one.." and so forth.

I don’t understand why ‘prochain’ comes before ‘cours’ as it doesn’t seem to fit with the group of adjectives that come before the noun.
