I got marked wrong on skipping "Qu'est-ce que cela ?" as an option for "what is this"?

Isn't "cela" strictly for "that"?

Merci beaucoup:)

Why is "animal de compagnie" not an option for the translation of pet ?

The dictation exercise A Nature-inspired Sculptor includes the sentence Depuis que je suis petite, j’ai toujours ressenti une grande connexion avec la nature" 

Is passé composé rather than the present tense used in "j’ai toujours ressenti" because of the "toujours"? 

[PS: there’s a small error in one of Céline’s answers below - "Ever since I was a little girl, in winter, we camp in the mountains"] 

I question why the imperfect verb is the answer to this question etiez? My accent that should go over the "e" is not working.

je repars

tu repars

il / elle / on repart

nous repartons

vous repartez

ils / elles repartent

QUESTION: The lesson says: "Nous repartissons"? shouldn't it be "nous repartons"?

Et Samuel se cache derrière le même buisson que Vincent 

Et Samuel se cache derrière le même buisson comme Vincent

Are these two expressions the same? 

I put the first as my answer to the question but was flip flopping between the two in the text box. Is the reason I got it wrong because there is no context to use "lui?" is there a context where "lui" would be correct?

thanks!

I know when asking someone for some thing we must use the ( conditionnel présent ) to be polite 

But i have heard people say that we can use je veux in a familiar context 

Can you please give me some examples 

Thank you so much 

Pouvez-vous dire simplement "consigne" en lieu de "consigne à bagages"?

The lesson said that y replaces [à+ thing], and that an indirect pronoun replaces  [à + person]. 

The question was "Il pense à sa famille. Elle....pense aussi."  'Famille' is people, so why is the answer given as 'y' and not 'leur'?
