relever and soulever

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,

I would like to know if there is a difference in the usage of these verbs or are they completely interchangeable ? For example, in the sentence "I lifted up a heavy box", which one would be more appropriate ?

Merci

We'll then wallpaper all the rooms except in the bathroom where there'll be wall tiles, given that room's dampness

Why does tapisser not work here as a translation of wallpaper (verb)?

Y vs En

Hi,

I was wondering if somebody could explain to me please when one should use 'Y' vs using 'En'.
For example, in trying to say "She thinks of it" - could it not be "elle y pense" or "elle en pense"?
Is it just determined by the context? Ie if the sentence before used De use En or if it used A use Y?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Question about sentence

In the sentence: Anne et Alain apprendront la cuisine le mois prochain, I’m confused why it’s la cuisine and not à cuisiner since the translation was: will learn how to cook. Can someone explain this? Thanks.
