I notice nearly all the subjects in these examples are proper nouns (with one qui?). When using a subject pronoun instead, would it become ce /c’ to avoid the il/elle + determiner construction ?

For example:  

 Elle est intelligente —> c’est la fille la plus intelligente de la classe 

Hi Kwiziq, please consider not breaking up full sentences. It makes it harder to figure out what's being said because we would have forgotten the context/previous phrase in the sentence/statement. Thank you.  N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AVN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/AN/A N/A N/A

Are these two phrases interchangeable or is there a subtle difference in their usage?

I am not familiar with the phrase 'chômée'

Hi, should “et il faudra que vous vérifiez leurs conditions” in fact be “et il faudra que vous vérifiiez leurs conditions” as vérifier is in the subjunctive?

I don't understand this sentence at all.  Perhaps de rever, but first person singular?  The rest of the exercise is in the past, it has already happened.

Does not the 2024 Tour de France end in Nice (because of the Olympics in Paris)?

I don't understand this

French: "Vous parlez d'autres langues"
English "Are you speaking about other languages?"

if "de" comes from "parlez", the lesson says it needs to be contracted to "des"
but here, it's just "d'"

I'm curious about why there's always a question about coudre, moudre and hair in the C1 tests. I understand that they're irregular and need to be learnt, but the questions are always in the present tense, and it seems pretty straightforward for C1. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to make them e.g. A2, and include a wider range of irregular verbs? I feel there are other questions that would be more appropriate and useful for C1.

Not complaining :-), just curious.

I'm curious about why we say "Je lui parle", but "Je pense à lui.  Can we say, "Je parle à lui" and Je lui pense"? Why does "parler" use an indirect object pronoun and "penser" use a stress pronoun? What is the reasoning behind this? Is it something to do with the meaning of the verbs, or is there no logic to it?

Le temps

But

La mi-temps ?
