Vocabulary from Guadeloupe's Carnival

La parade is used as translation for the parade. Is using le defile (sorry, can't get the accent aigu on the e's) incorrect? I don't even see it as an option in any of the possible translations listed.

Word order and use of Rappeler

Is it also correct to say:

Elle rappelle à Alain sa sœur

I am getting this word order in Reverso translation and Google Translate for many examples I made up with the same structure. I know Google Translate is not always reliable, but I have also seen other examples that seem to indicate the word order above is used as well as the one used in the lesson. Thank you.

impersonal expressions

can impersonal expressions like il est possible que, il est certain que etc become c'est possible , c'est certain que etc. C'est seems more logical here than il.
