Relatedly, in an inverted question like "La fille a-t-elle un chat ?" , is the placement of the subject at the beginning done solely for emphasis? If so, would it be uncommon for a comma to appear after it?

[Edit] As usual, I found the answer after posting the question...

Apparently, when the subject is a noun or name, that subject remains in place and is repeated in the form of a subject pronoun.

I don't understand the use of the verb 'vis' in the last sentence. Shouldn't that be present tense 'vois'

Why beaucoup and not bien?

In the lesson above, you have AIMER BIEN / BEAUCOUP - TO LIKE / (A LOT). In the quiz, "J'aime bien tes chaussures." was marked incorrect for "I really like your shoes." It was corrected with beaucoup. If bien and beaucoup don't mean the same thing, then you need to clarify that in the lesson because as it is written, they look interchangeable.

Asking a question....What is wrong with the following phrase? Si vous le dites...Quand a été la dernière fois que vous lui avez parlé? (The correction was - Si vous le dites... Quand lui avez-vous parlé pour la dernière fois ?) Thanks

Prenne le volant vs. se mettre au volant

I wrote "et on avait trop bu pour me mettre au volant" but there was only one option which was "on avait trop bu pour que je prenne le volant". Why is the first expression not an additonal option?

Tout à l'heure

The rule concerning agreement of "tout" in different situations confuses me. Why isn't it written "toute à l'heure" so that tout agrees with the gender of l'heure? Thanks.

I found this explanation in Le Figaro but it does not explain why there is no agreement: https://www.lefigaro.fr/langue-francaise/expressions-francaises/2019/01/23/37003-20190123ARTFIG00047--toute-a-l-heure-ne-faites-plus-la-faute.php
