Kwiziq markingI was on 99.56% in A1 and am desperate to reach 100%. I got none wrong, but I accidentally missed out three questions and had 0.3% removed. I thought that wasn't supposed to happen. 0.3% is such a lot when you are nearing your diamond award. It is really difficult to reach 100% and I am nearly there, but you are not generous with your marking when someone reaches a high percentage within a level.

Why the article "le" before "on" in "Et l'on entend la même chanson, oh !"?Obviously, my question is not related to the current subject. However, since the sentence is used in this lesson, I figured it would be ok to present it here. In any case, I have yet to run into this construction in my lessons. Can someone point me in the right direction perhaps? Thank you.

l'écriture (f)The noun 'écriture' (handwriting) is feminine. But apparently the correct translation of "We cannot read his handwriting" is 'Nous ne pouvons pas lire son écriture'. I was using an exercise book and I thought the answer in the back might be a mistake, but Google Translate also comes up with the same translation. La bonne phrase est 'Nous ne pouvons pas lire sa écriture', n'est-ce pas?
