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"

what's the differnece between de l'argent ou d'argent?

and how to use them? thank you!

The two sentences below look almost exactly the same, in both 'they' know a fact (what time the shop closes).

Presumably, then, its just that in the 2nd sentence the verb is followed by a noun and that alone determins that 'conaitre' should be used, (and it's nothing to do with 'they' knowing a fact)?

Ils savent à quelle heure le magasin ferme. They know what time the shop closes.

Ils connaissent l'horaire de fermeture du magasin.
They know the shop closing time.

Bonjour,

Mauvais is usually an adjective, but is it being used as an adverb when we say the weather is bad?

e.g. il fait mauvais.

or is it still being an adjective, and is modifying the noun: 'the weather' (replaced here by the pronoun: "it"), please?

I am currently reading a book, "Comment avoir une orthographe qui mène au succès", written by Pr Robert Tocquet.  He claims s'attendre à ce que is not correct, rather it is a barbarism.  Here is what he wrote: S'attendre, consentir à ce que. (S'attendre, consentir que.)
Il y a quatre verbes qui se construisent avec que (et non à ce que) : aimer, s’attendre, consentir et demander.

However, any comments from the Kwiziq community about this.
