Pourquoi est-ce qu'on ne peux pas dire "C'est quoi qui" au lieu de "Qu'est-ce qui"?

Can one use 'une pénalité' for 'penalty' or is that just used in rugby as opposed to soccer?

I've encountered this quiz: translate this sentence: "Marie worked for ten hours yesterday". The answer excludes this option: Marie a travaillé en dix heures hier.

Why can't I use the word "en"? It's mentioned here: En vs Dans with time (French Prepositions of Time)

"En expresses the length of time something takes to be done."

In "la surprise n'en sera que plus grande" why "n'en sera que" rather than "ne sera que"?  The lesson says en can replace the preceding de+phrase but I cannot see de+phrase.

Hello,

Would you kindly explain the "en ferait rougir plus d'un"? I am not sure what the speaker is saying about Damien. Is she implying that Damien has a way on making someone blush (with embarrassment perhaps)? 

Merci!

The lesson didn't mention much about "par".
Is it really used just for those few mentioned in the note?

Just to make the point that in UK English, it’s commoner to say "nowhere I’d rather be" or "nowhere that I’d rather be" - this avoids the where-where sound but also makes it harder to remember we need nulle part où rather than nulle part que.

In the bottom half of the quick lesson it says:

"- the more elegant 

Did you leave out 'cela' between 'Comment' and 'se fait-il'?

Bonjour à tous,

pourriez vous m'expliquer la différence entre ces 2 phrases ? (pourquoi on réutilise «de» dans la première et non dans la deuxième)

1-Cherchez bien sur Internet avant d'*acheter ou de* réserver vos vacances.

2-Ce cours est composé d'*une ou plusieurs activités.

merci beaucoup
