in the fillin the blank quiz for the plus-que -parfait, my answer was marked as nearly correct yet i do not understand why 

This idea also exists in English ie 'He's selling his motorbike' can mean is is actually in the act of selling it in the present moment OR it can mean that he intends to sell it in the future. 

1/ Nous avons froid quand vient l'hiver 

2/ Nous avons froid quand l'hiver vient 

I am a bit confused about when an extra pronoun comes in to inverted question forms.  I thought that "What does Paul want?" would be "Que Paul veut-il?".  Similarly with "What are the children drawing?", I was expecting "Que les enfants dessinent-ils?

Is it correct? "J'ai faim parce que je ne mange pas le déjeuner"

Are both of these sentences grammatically correct? I understand why 'ce qui' in the first sentence is correct, but not why 'ce que' would be correct in the second one. I would be grateful for an explanation.

Ce qui à un moment donné est le substrat, n’est pas chaud

Why is "it" in this sentence "la" instead of "le:" Tu ne la lui écris pas. 

Wow, I just must say that this one in every sentence had idiomatique phrases of which I've never heard, or seen introduced in any of your lessons.  I'm not sure of the value of having to make so many guesses on what I'm hearing, since context gives almost no clue with those type of phrases.  Isn't the point of these to recognize what you've learned?
