Confusing question"Ta voiture est petite. - Oui, mais c'est ________ dans mon garage."Your car is small. - Yes, but my garage is small.This makes no sense! Please change all similar questions so people have a chance of answereing them correctly.
My pizza is hot. - Yes but my garden is pretty. If this makes sense to you then I apologise.

À deux heures de v à 2 h de

Why is it incorrect to write “à deux heures de” rather than “à 2 h de?”

Faire le menage vs nettoyer

I'm very familiar with the expression, "faire le menage". I chose to write "faire le nettoyage" to see if it would be accepted and it was marked wrong. The alternative phrase given was, "...mon marie et mois allons nettoyer..."

Larousse defines "nettoyer" as a transitive verb in which case doesn't "nettoyer" need a direct object? In that case, is "L'apres-midi mon mari et moi allons nettoyer et nos enfants vont ranger leurs chambres" correct? Don't you need to say "...mon mari et moi allons nettoyer la maison..."?

In English, the verb, "to clean" is both transitive and intransitive which differs from the French.

A real challenge

I did miserably on this exercise. Seems that in progressing from B1 to B2 one faces quite a chasm. Without a bridge.

Can "se faire" mean to "imagine" then? As I can't find that translation anywhere? Understand the context is probably "I make to be"?
