According to this lesson, "Marie a manqué l'école." should translate to "School misses Marie." But in the quiz, the correct answer is "Marie didn't go to school." 

When I click on the Learn and Discuss button, it redirects me to the "manquer (de)" page, which is not what is used in the original sentence (manquer à). 

Wouldn't the proper translation be "Marie a manqué d'école"? Help is appreciated. 

I was surprised to see the word "clore".  It doesn't appear very often.  When and how is it used?

Could this be a mistake in the transcript?    ...qui tienne dans une cabin d'avion 

If you translate 'and suddenly, I'd realised that I could not live without you' as 'et soudain, je m'étais rendu compte que je ne pouvais pas vivre sans toi', the past participle is corrected to 'rendue' (because it's a female speaker). But my understand was that 'compte' is the direct object in this phrase and 'me' the indirect, and that therefore the past participle is invariable.

By the time you are ready he will be gone already sounds very Jewish in English, already. The native speaker would say he will already be gone.

Ce jour la , il (faire) froid

Why is my answer the wrong way round??

I miss our Netflix and pizza nights!

I wrote = Je manque nos soirees Netflix et pizza.... 

but best answer places ... Nos soirees Netflix et pizza me manquent... at the beginning of the sentence and I don't understand and the grammar doesn't explain why!! HELP ME!!! Thanks guys

Thanks for this exercise.

One minor detail to improve here: I got confused by "dans le petit bassin" being translated as "to the small pool", which means "au petit bassin", instead the correct English translation is "into the small pool".

Cheers!

Why is this not 'Je ne lui pensais guere' please?
