 I expected the answer to be ...de 1789 au 1799 (having read the lesson notes). 

I don't understand why the answer came back as de...à, it is after all between two dates.

Any thoughts on how to make this clearer to understand?

Cette exercise et l’exercice de B2 cette semaine (‘Se réconcilier avec un ami’) ce sont très interessantes avec la vocabulaire et des phrases très utiles ! Leurs sujets rendent le travail difficile de les faire amusant. Bon travail ! Merci !

I want to learn how to read french and speak fuently

Hi. 

Is it possible to say ' qui donne sur la Vallée de la Dordogne?

In the example, all the indirect object phrases start with à or au.   Au marché, à Paris. In the quiz, my answer got marked wrong.  Il va à chez Jean.  The correct answer appears to be il va chez Jean. Is ‘chez x’ a special case that does not require à? 

My quiz is saying this means these girls, surely this means the girls

Why "ils ont pris le temps"  (passe compose).  It seems to me this should be "ils prenaient les temps"  (imparfait).  This part of the sentence describes the background.  Also, this is an opinion.  I note that the same sentence uses provenaient (imparfait) 

I keep getting marked incorrect in my A0 quiz when asked to fill in the blank. Every time I will use one of these and it will say I should use the opposite. I don't understand why/when to use one variant over the other, especially when there is no indication of formality in the question. At this point I feel like I'm taking the quiz over and over due to this one mistake and just switching between the two but always incorrect.

Take "le Sacré Coeur" as an example, which variant should I use and why?

Qu'est-ce que c'est le Sacré Coeur?
Qu'est-ce que le Sacré Coeur?

not luxemburg, luxembourg. the country name is incorrect. please change as it is disrespectful
