Ce quoi la base de informatique et le but 

In a previous lesson, J’allais + infinitive = was going to _ . This example that is captioned, is translated as ‘ I was enrolling at university’ instead of ‘I was going to enroll’. 

I think I understand the basic concept here. Is there an easy way to remember which verbs are followed by à? The list is VERY long. 

Can you help me to understand when to use use y ane le/la to refer to something that has been talked about before, for example

1) Tu as vu ma message ?, tu  y as  répondu ?

2) Je pense d'aller à Paris, tu le penses ?

In the sentence 'when France won the World Cup ' I used remporté instead of 'gagné' but it remporté wasn't given as an option. Is there a subtle difference in their respective meanings?

Hello!

I am wondering why there is a '-t-' in the sentence  "Où va-t-on mettre le sapin ?"    Is this because it is using the reflexive version of the verb mettre?   If so why do we use the relflexive mettre in this instance?   Thank you.  

"Ah, la voilà !"

Would "là voilà" be an acceptable alternative to la voilà in this context ? 

I've checked reverso and it appears it might be a usable locution.

Thanks. Paul.

The speakers in this dialogue (a tutor and an adult student who already know each other) used the inversion form to pose questions. Wouldn’t we expect them to use the less formal « est-ce que » form in these circumstances?
