Not that it necessarily requires a separate lesson, as it follows the same pattern as most of the other verbs, but perhaps 'tomber' should also be on the list of dual auxiliary verbs - être in intransitive form, avoir in transitive form.

I am totally confused by the lessonand what appears to be contradicting examples, etc.

Has this been reformulated?  It almost seems using c'est vs il/elle est is intuitive for native speakers but not those learning.

I was thrown by :  Tu aimes mon pull? (specific) - Oui, il est tres beau.

(sorry, missing accents above)

and later: Tu aimes la soupe? (specific) - Oui, c'est reconfortant.    

Still not answered: for seasons under what conditions we & do not you use à with definite article. Examples do not clarify

Is it incorrect to use "Est-ce quoi la Sorbonne?". It was marked incorrect on a quiz.  Is that because I can't invert c'est in this case?

How would you say:   "It is hot and sunny?"

Il fait chaud et il y a du soleil? 

NB I don't understand why in French hot is an adjective and sunny is a noun...  

Does this also mean that you still don't drink it now/ in the present??

Whilst not specific to this lesson - there are lot of references in these lessons to language choices that are "more elegant" than another.  Is this just another way of saying "more formal", or do the French have a specific desire or appreciation for elegant language?  In English we would never describe our language choices as one way being more elegant than another.  I'm just curious!

if it starts with y is it mon or ma

Note the translation for “pour trouver la lumière” is translated incorrectly as “like light does” (comme le fait la lumière)
