Bonjour !  

When do you use "on" and "l'on" when we talked about "we"?

tu as faim.

In the sentence: "Que tu l'admettes ou non, ce ne sont pas tes amis," why is "ce ne sont pas" used for "they're not" instead of "ils ne sont pas"? Thank you.

I have 2 questions
1-
can I use indirect object or direct object  before the verb for "penser à" when I talk about people? 
and what is the rule for 
Je pense à Lui(tom) 
je lui pense or je le pense?? (does it work with any of them?)
2-how can I inverted imperatif with penser à for people
pense à moi  or pense moi (whicj one is true?)

I don't have the best ears but I don't really hear the first syllable of 'Sinon'.  I just hear the second syllable, i.e. 'non'.  If I were a little more experienced, I could have guessed 'Sinon' because 'non' makes no sense.  Anyone else with the same issue?

Why is the letter "l" of the verb s'appeler doubled in all persons but the first and second plural?

Why is "leur" the object pronoun for la police when la police is a singular noun?

Why is pouvoir in the phrase, "...but my parents told me that we can only keep one..." translated as "nous pouvions" rather than "nous pouvons" ? ie. The use of the l'imparfait rather than the present tense.

I know that we used "voulais" earlier in the sentence, but that was expressed as the past, "I wanted to keep...".  Does the use of the l'imparfait earlier in the sentences necessitate the use of the l'imparfait with "pouvoir" also?

Merci !

Thank you for sharing this beautiful and inspirational video. It would have been a fabulous exhibit to have seen in person.
