what can I write them in negative sentences? 

Tom est avocat = Tom n'est pas avocat 

Tom et Pierre  sont  avocats=Tom et Pierre ne sont pas avocats

Maurice est un professeur excellent=Maurice n'est pas un professeur excellent.

Maurice et Tom sont des professeurs excellents=Maurice et Tom ne sont pas des professeurs excellents 

Are these sentences corrects? İf they are not correct can anyone write true correct sentences

Could one also say, "Le matin j'avais beau de me reveiller?"

For this statement: "Est-ce ta trousse? - Oui, c'est la mienne."

Why are we using "c'est" if it is about a specific item (the pencil case). In the previous lesson, if we know exactly what we're talking about we should use il/elle. 

Thanks

I decided to take a chance today and add an e on the end of "je me suis ennuyée" to see whether it would be accepted as an answer. It wasn't. It's a shame really, given that this is what those of us who are female should be writing. I suppose it would constitute a huge amount of work for Kwiziq to incorporate feminine options thoughout all the quizzes. But perhaps this could be a long-term goal?

Salut

Dans cette exam j'ai répondu que-  Il est sept heures et demie.  mais je suis mal marquè. quelle est la raison

Is there a difference between "Nous mangerons dans 30 minutes" and "Nous mangeons dans 30 minutes"? My understanding is that it's a subtle difference (e.g, "we will sit down to eat 30 minutes from now" vs. "we're sitting down to eat 30 minutes from now"), but both ultimately refer to the beginning of the action in the future. 

Hi

Why is it 'aux prix' and not 'au prix'.  Isn't prix singular?

Thanks

Could "de" be used here instead of "en" ?  Any thoughts?

Dear Aurélie,

These writing exercises are a true exercise in humility.  I test in the 90's for C1 grammar but I consistently fail (often get less than 50%) in the writing exercises.  It took me over a year to accept this - I always would find my performance very disappointing and avoided the exercises (tip to others: don't avoid.  They will improve your French, painfully and slowly in my case).  The writing exercises  are excellent and introduce a wide variety of expressions and of contexts, but perhaps students should be forewarned that one's grammar level on Kwiziq will be higher than one's performance on the translation/writing exercises.
