Elle y repond ... why not elle le repond? (I can't get the accent to work so ignore that). I'm not sure when to replace with le or y

Note about répartir

The note about répartir in this lesson:

Note that the verb répartir is NOT a derivative of partir, but shares its root with the word repartition, and does follow the regular -IR conjugation.

Is a little confusing, because 'partir' is not mentioned anywhere, and there is a very subtle difference with 'repartir' that is also not mentioned. Having some of this context would help!

1. What is the purpose of the word "tous" in this sentence?

2. Why is the "s" in "tous" pronounced before the " v" in "vos"?

Writing challenges and self scoring strictnessHi! I just took my first writing challenge and found myself using slightly different word choices (vocabulary) and on one sentence I used a slightly different word order than the proposed correct translation. So just wondering how to grade myself when I'm pretty sure my answer was as valid as the answer. How much wiggle room should I allow myself?

Passe compose for a reflexive verb.The answer to a question in the Kwiz was "Nous nous sommes brosse" (with an accent). Shouldn't that have been brosses (with an accent)?

direct object pronouns

hi can you please help me with this example

J'ai encore des cadeaux à acheter - Marie les a déjà tous achetés.

Why is this not Marie en a déjà......

I thought that if it is a partitive then you use en.

thank you for your help
