What is the capital of Tunisia?

‘il’ vs. ‘ce’ in referring to an event or idea

Well, ‘il’ directly refers to the person/object concerned, it includes the subject within it, while ‘ce’ needs the subject to be assigned right after. Ce chien est grand = il est grand ; Cette fille est jolie = elle est jolie ; Cette idée est bonne = elle est bonne (this idea is good = it is good)
Does that help you ? :/

  • (a) Is he? That is the question.

Casual:

Est-ce qu’il l’est ? C’est la question.

Literary:

L’est-il ? Telle est la question.

Note that:

Elle est la question. is impossible.

  • (b) Is he? It’s hard to tell.

Spoken French:

C’est dur à dire.

Difficile à dire.

Formal, written French:

Il n’est pas facile de le dire/ de le déterminer.

  • (c) It’s hard to know what to think.

Casual, spoken French:

C’est difficile de savoir ce qu’il faut penser.

Formal, written French:

Il est difficile de savoir quoi penser.

I don’t have the reputation to comment, but there’s a spelling mistake in Jlliagre’s answer. It should be “L’est-il?” not “L’est-t-il?”
