What is the rule for capitalisation here? The Cirque in the first line is capitalised but in the last line is marked incorrect when capitalised.

Hello, I am wondering why to use "c´est" instead of "elle est" to translate "she is an angel". Doesn't "c´est" mean "it is", used to describe an object? Can you use "c´est" about a person and why is it better than simply saying "elle est"?

Since épinards starts with a vowel why is it not d’épinards? Or is it always des when referring to some? Can you help me figure out when we use d’ as opposed to des? 

In the exercise "I don't know this author" English present tense, is translated as "je ne connaissais pas" French Imparfait? Is that correct?

One suggestion given for the translation of 'we'll drink it without rushing' is 'nous le boirons sans se presser'. Would it be wrong to say 'nous le boirons sans nous presser' instead?

I wrote : nous rentrions de lécole. could that be an option?

Why isn't "je lui ai fabriqué un album photo" not "j'ai fabriqué pour lui un album photo"?  The grammar section on lui v le focuses exclusively on verbs followed by à such as plaire and téléphoner. 

Google Translate says "I made an album for him" = "J'ai fait un album pour lui" (but weirdly, "I made a photo album for him" = "Je lui ai fait un album photo").

Why not aller à pied instead of marcher? The problem contrast one means of transport with another. I missed the bus so I had to walk--aller à pied.
