Nous faisons du waterpolo vs Nous jouons au waterpolo?Nous ________ waterpolo.
We play waterpolo."jouons au" is marked incorrect and "faisons du" is correct.
Yet your explanation says to use "jouons au" for a sport that you play regularly. "We play waterpolo" means we play it regularly. That's an unambiguous English sentence. There is no other way to translate that. No English-speaking person would use the phrase "We play" for a single incident. They'd say, "We're playing waterpolo." This seems like a bug to me.
Even the article you link to earlier in this discussion uses "jouons au" for waterpolo. Either you need to explain this better or change the quiz answer.
ETA: In fact, if you type "We play water polo" into Google translate, it says "Nous jouons au water polo." If you google "jouer à vs faire de" you get this explanation:
To remember when to use each verb: if the sport involves a ball, use jouer. If not, use faire.
Someone brought this up 3 years ago. You updated the lesson 2 months ago. This should've been addressed already.
I should have submitted this post in the general forum here:

So I deleted the post from here, and posted it in the other forum, using the same title.
Sorry.
Why is it 'on en achètera une fois qu'on sera arrivés" and Not 'on en achètera une fois qu'on arrivera"
I dutifully look up vocabulary for the writing exercises, and usually I arrive at the wrong thing and not colloquial thing. Why not just give us a list with the exercise?

Bonjour.
I took a quiz and it said I was wrong when I put charment last but in the list it says if an adverb is 2 or more syllables it go after the adjective? Or would charmant not be considered an adverb and incase be considered the adjective of Clark gable?
Thanks

I think that the text “Nous ramassions des coquillages” has the audio “Nous y ramassions des coquillages”.
There isn't a correction while I wrote the test for the section "peut-être au cafe à côté de la boulangerie" It just shows you at the end where it presents the whole text.
Bescherelle punctuates haïr in the passé simple as: je haïs, tu haïs, il haït, etc., whereas you insist on: j'hais, tu hais, il hais, etc. Can they both be correct?
