J'ai décidé de perdre du poids. 

J'ai décidé du faire. OR J'ai décidé de le faire.  [I have decided to do it] ??

What is the rule related to this? Please share.

Hi all.  Can someone advise me as to when one uses ça as 'it' rather than le, la, l' eg. je le déteste or je déteste ça?  I have just done an exercise where the latter was used for 'I hate it', I would have used 'le'.  I can understand it being used for I hate 'that' but here it was used for 'it'.  Thanks in advance/ merci en avance, Kevin

And what about the Negations of the examples given in this lesson? Are these correct for the Negative Imperative with Adverbial Double Pronoun -

With En -

- Ne t'en donnons pas! [Let's not give you any.] 

- Ne m’en parle pas!  [Don’t tell me about it.]

- Ne nous en parlez pas. [Don't tell us about it.]

With Y -

- Ne m’y emmenez pas! [Don't take me there.]

- Ne t'y amusez pas! [Don't have fun there.]

With Others -

- Ne me les donne pas. [Don't give them to me.]

- Ne nous l'envoie pas. [Don't send it to us.] 

difference?   when used?

Martin likes Sarah. -> Martin aime bien Sarah. I answered this question with simply "Martin aime Sarah", and I wonder why was it marked as a mistake. Nothing in the question suggested that it's the friendly sort of like, it could very well be a romantic sort of like. Both options seem grammatically correct to me. Isn't that right?

Je veux etudier des sujets autres que le passe simple, mais le programme me donne 9 questions du passe simple sur 10 dans chaque test, meme si j'active le test a partir des lecons sur d'autres sujets. Comment sortir de cet engrenage? 

Not sure if anyone is gonna read this, but for those that are from countries where a billion means a million million, french uses the word billion as well. 

This page confused me a bit since Spanish is my first language and in that language we generally use billion the same way as French, whereas the one thousand million meaning is mostly used in the English speaking world.

Pendant des années, je me suis plié en quatre pour arranger les choses entre nous...

t's describing something habitual that happened over a long period of tim.  It's in the middle of a longer passage also in the imparfait setting the scene for a discrete action to come....  

Thanks in advance for the insights I know you will provide.
