Christmas in the mountains (B1)Bonjour Madame Cécile !
While attempting this challenge, I faced a few difficulties which I would like to ask here-
1.C’est un endroit magique au milieu des montagnes, mais ça manque de transports en commun !
In this phrase, why has “ça” been used ? We need to talk about the ‘châlet’ so can “il” not be used ?
2. D'abord, je prendrai l'avion jusqu'à la grande ville la plus proche, qui est ‘quand même à’ quarante kilomètres du châlet !
Madame, what is the usage of the expression-‘quand même à’ ?
This expression was used in this exercise to mean -still but what are its other uses ?
3. Mais je ne pourrai pas conduire jusqu'au châlet lui-même.
Why is lui-même used here, shouldn’t it be ‘moi-même’ ? As, in the sense of “ I wouldn’t be able to drive myself till the chalet’ ?
Merci beaucoup pour votre aide et réponse.
Joyeux Nöel à vous !
Why is it de l’argent which I thought meant some money. The lesson wrote: either money or a gift. So why was soit d’argent wrong? Thanks.

When do I use the à?
In the examples they used à and didn’t use à and they both mean he’s going to call his parents. So how do I know when I should use à?
In the above question the answer is cela,. Can it is alternatively written as " je le lui ai promis "

Hello!
Throughout the writing activity where I described the boys neighborhood, I continued to use "Tu" instead of "On" when it asked me to type "When you want to go out, you have a lot of choices!"
The correct answer according to the computer was "Quand on veut sortir, on a beaucoup de choix !"
Can someone explain why On is used instead of Tu?
Thanks!
