could someone explain for me like broken down what is the source of this so my brain can understand lol like ok im sorry this is hard to explain but for example "je" = i, "m'" = iop, "to me", "apelle"= je form of s'apeller. so like, what does each thing, "il," "y," and "a" mean? i think il is 3rd person singular so it works as "it?" and idk about the y and the "a" is 3rd person singular of avoir, "has"?

In the examples, to know a recipe uses connaître. When used in the quiz for pumpkin pie recipe, connaître is wrong and saviour given as correction. Please elucidate.

Please could you explain why, in your question, 'I watch the film', it was ''I' who was the subject , but in your next question 'Alice watches the girl', it was 'the girl' who was the subject of the sentence. 

Pour etre riche, ____ beaucoup d'argent.  I put "il faut avoir" and it was wrong, "il faut" being correct.  Do we not use the infinitive here?  It doesn't seem right in either language.

I don't agree with the following tip. I agree with Harton.  I am English and was a teacher of English.  What you suggest is very formal and rarely used in nowadays in spoken English.  I believe that just as it is important to learn French as it is actually spoken, it is also important to learn English as it is actually spoken.

Whereas in English, you will need to use a subject pronoun after than (... than I (do), you (do), he/she (does)...), in French you will once again use the stress pronoun after que (... que moi, toi, lui/elle, nous, vous, eux/elles). You will also never repeat the verb (do/am/have) afterwards:

Is “accomoderont” missing an “m”? WordReference Dictionary only lists “accommoderont”. 

In the final sentence, I was expecting "ensemble" to be placed immediately after "lit", as reading is the thing being done together. Can someone explain why it isn't, please?

Why isn't the question above inverted? Is it specific to the usage of "que"?
