Query regarding ceci/cela/çaBonjour Madame Cécile !
In a quiz, I was given the following sentences->
1. Ils sont riches. J'ai lu ________ quelque part.
(They're wealthy. I read that somewhere.)
Now, the correct answer was cela/ça. Though I got it right but I would like to ask why “ceci” is inappropriate.
2. Elle pourra partir plus tôt : je lui ai promis ________. (She will be able to leave earlier: I promised her that.)
Here, too I would question whether “ceci” is acceptable or not.
3. ________ sera prévu. (It will be taken care of. )
The accurate answer is “Ce” but why can’t one use “Ça/Ceci/Cela” .
Merci beaucoup pour votre aide.
Je vous souhaite une bonne journée.
Bonjour, just to clarify, it is correct to use conjugated aller + infinitive aller?
Example: Je vais aller au cinéma. This is correct?

What is the difference between C'est quoi ? and Qu'est-ce que c'est ? and in what context we use them? Both of them seem same to me in English.
Hi. The sentence refers to the past, so why 'car il fait chaud', which is the present tense, and not the imperfect ' car il fasais chaud'?
