I realise the lesson is about 'dont', but could one use 'compris' or 'y compris' instead of dont? If so, which, and would compris need an e because the girl is feminine?

A beautiful pull

Doing some revision and this lesson has had me in knots.

Can somebody confirm or correct me please

Tu aimes mon pull ? -Oui, il est très beau

Does this get to the point?

Tu aimes mon pull ? -Oui, c'est un très beau pull...?

Ça fait dix ans?

At the end, could you say "Ça fait dix ans que je suis un prof" ?

elle change de couleur

Why "de couleur" ? I would have expected "la couleur" or "de la couleur".

What great words French has for 'to spoil' ! When learning French really gets enjoyable

I thought "gâter" already had a nice sound for to spoil, but then I discover 'chouchouter' in this lesson, and my wife mentions 'dorloter'. They all just sound so 'right' for the sentiment to me. « Ma belle-sœur me chouchoute toujours avec une bonne choucroute. » Can't wait to hit her with that on the next Skype !

On a more grounded note: 'goes and walk the dog', would be either 'goes to walk the dog' (which is fine for the translation) or 'goes and walks the dog', at least in my part of the world.

Also, "la TV" is actually listed in both wordreference and Larousse (to my surprise) - TV is currently not accepted in translation, although it was used in the English script.

Re answer to the question I missed on test 2

I conjugated Elles font and was told that Elles fait is correct. I don't think think that is true. Could you please examine that question and explain the answer to me?

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' ?
