He's going to call his parents.  ->  He's going to call them.

In these above examples, why are both the direct and indirect object pronouns placed in between the verbs instead of in front of both of them? 

Merci.

Ma Larousse dit que échelle est féminine.

Can you say 'd'après la célèbre comptine'?

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?

My preferred dictionary, Wordreference, distinguishes a car door from an ordinary door in using the word, portière.   Should it not be accepted ? 

The theory says these are interchangeable yet I used malgré and was marked wrong

So - how would you say - "That shirt suits you well, but it doesn't fit you"

Yes, I know there are other ways to express this eg. "It suits you but you need to find a smaller size".  But I'm specifically looking for how the two are differentiated using 'aller a'.

TIA

Like emouvant and paisable and se reconnaitre

L'adjectif "long" précède normalement le nom et si j'ai "a big white house", c'est une grande maison blanche, n'est-ce pas?  Pourquoi dans le cas des cheveux sont-ils "les cheveux longs et raides" et pas "les longs cheveux raides"?  Merci.
