For "breast" in breast of duck, the exercise uses "magret". Can you explain why? LaRousse defines  "magret" as "Fillet of duck fattened for the production of foie gras.", which does not seem to be the same thing, as clearly not all ducks are forced fed to make foie gras; and clearly it would be redundant to say «de canard»

I used blanc, which seems a lot closer: «Partie charnue d'une volaille qui tient à la carcasse.» but is not accepted.

Should “il l’interrompait” be “il l’interromprait”?

The sentence given in English is "Go to bed!"  Why isn't it simply "to bed!" to avoid confusing it with "va te coucher!"  which is marked as "wrong"? 

Their Books should be Leurs Livres and not Leur livres as mentioned in the video or am I wrong?

I thought that "turc" referred to a Turkish man and that "turque" referred to a Turkish woman. The correct answer indicates that "turque" refers to a Turkish man. Please explain why my answer was marked as incorrect.

She says, 'L'endroit qui m'a le plus marqué...' - why not 'marquée'?

This comptine is very charming, Aurelie! May I suggest that you find a popular children's song for it? It would make it so much fun and some of us could use it to teach French vocabulary to the children in our lives.

why not en passant or il se trouve? I don't understand usage of "justement" here for "as it happens"

Following on from my question about queue and line.. if I recognise the problem and simply do not answer the question.. it keeps coming up time and again as the first question in a Kwiz.. am thinking it would be easy enough to create a rule that if somebody did not answer a question three times in a row it was highly likely that they were ignoring the question and Kwizbot should stop asking it.. at least for a week.
