The quiz says: ____ les gars! Thanks for coming guys!

The answer is Merci d'etre venus

This is clearly correct in the usual situation where the guys have come and are being thanked for it.

But suppose that the guys had promised to come and were being thanked in advance for it? The same English sentence would work for that situation, even if it would be more explicit if we said "Thanks for agreeing to come, guys". How would the French look in that case?

My aim is to speak French fleuntly

The quiz asked: How would you tell your friends to have faith? "____ confiance, mes amis!" Have faith, my friends.

I answered "Faites" but it wanted "Ayez". Nearly all lessons here that refer to "confiance" associate it with "faire" - not "avoir". There does not seem to be one specifically on "Have faith". What is the grammar rule here?

The quiz asked: "Les choses se sont passees ___ je l'avais prevu" Things happened just as I had planned.

I answered "tout comme". It wanted "ainsi que" but isn't "tout comme" another valid answer here? Possibly even a little more correct since "tout" conveys the additional emphasis that "just" does in English?

Il ne t'a pas appelé de peur que tu ne luiraccroches au nez.
He didn't call you for fear that you may hung up on him.

should be might hang up...

The question asked: "Couvrez-vous la tete!" Write "Cover it".

I answered "Couvrez-la". It wanted "Couvrez-la-vous".

Can you explain why the Kwiziq answer is correct. I could see it if the vous was an indirect object but it does not seem to be. For this reason it is not similar to any of the examples in the lesson.

Is it because "la" refers not just to "the head" but "your head", i.e. "the head of you"
