Why must I have a circumflex on the i for quoi?
If opinions are expressed in the imparfait or plusque parfait, why are the two statements representing “I always loved” and “I always found that magical” in the passé composé?
Shouldn't "mon coeur" be "mon cœur?"
Is “courir dans les escaliers “ the expression for to run up the stairs? If so, how do you say to run down the stairs.
Is there a way to target a specific language point? For example, if I look at an explanation of a particular point, then 'notebook' it, sometimes there is a mini kwiz below, but is it possible to get more practice on one particular topic?
I got my response from your own site: Merci de votre attention, which you can see below, and yet I’m marked wrong. What’s the deal this time?
Can someone tell me if I have arrived at a correct conclusion?

If there's a lesson on when to use articles with days of the week, I would appreciate a link! Thank you.
Two of the three options for this were "Oh! I watched this one yesterday too" and "Oh! I watched it yesterday too." I selected the first option, because "ça" is a demonstrative pronoun, not a personal pronoun. But the microquiz said that "I watched IT" was the correct selection. I was happier when I went to an explanation, because there, the translation was "I watched THAT." Should "ça" ever be translated as "it"? I'm sure this is nitpicky, but I'm a linguist fluent in Spanish, and the details matter to me!
Thank you.
You're washing yourself! (i.e. You do it on your own!)
I thought when it means on your own it is 'tout seul'. Is this phrase idiomatic, and doesn't necessary mean 'washing'? I am confused with i.e. you do it on your own. For example, can I use this phrase to say a kid baked a cake on his own?
