En terrasse versus Sur la terrasse

Bonjour. Can someone explain the difference? For example, there is a Kwiziq dictée entitled (En Terrasse) but in the dictée "sur la terrasse" is used. Merci!

LUI/ ELLE: stress or indirect object pronoun after parler à?I'm glad Stuart asked this. I'm confused too. Sadly I'm no further enlightened by the answer given here. If both stress pronouns and indirect object pronouns follow structures such as 'écrire à qqn', 'téléphoner à qqn' etc., how do we know whether to use 'elle' (stress pronoun) or 'lui' (indirect object pronoun)? Grateful for more clarification. Many thanks.

C'est or Il/Elle EstSeriously lost on this one - you mention that C'est will be followed by a noun nd il/elle by an adjective yet in the practice test 'Tu aimes la couleur violette ? Oui, ________ est très joli!' expects the response C'est
