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.

Ce n'est pas que juste une histoire. C'est le vrai chef-d'œuvre chocolat-poétique !
I'm wondering why the verb tense here doesn't match the English sentence that was given : "We **had wanted** you so much for so long... ".
"Parvenir" goes with être and "Convenir" goes with avoir (unlike venir) in Passé composé?? Same goes for "Survenir" (goes with être) and "Subvenir" (goes with avoir). Where can I find all such cases of Venir??? The list given on Kwiziq does not have these verbs - https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/grammar/verbs. Please help.
"Cette maison est bien."
Am I correct in thinking that, in this case, "bien" is describing the house and is therefore an adjective?
If this is true, then "bien" can be an adjective as well as an adverb.
Please could you tell how to know when to use "bien" or "bon" as an adjective.
In other words, why did the question not read "Cette maison est bonne" ?
Is it correct to say le parapliue est sur la table
Why "s'illumine de lumieres colorees" and not "des lumieres colorees"?
I understand that "des" becomes "de" when the adjective precedes the noun that it is modifying, but in this case "colorees" is after "lumieres".

While I got this sentence right, I wonder what the exact English translation is of "des vacances en amoureux"? Is this the same as "lune de miel" ?
Merci !
