Audrey adore le mercredi/les mercredis

I was marked wrong for "Audrey adore les mercredis". It wanted "Audrey adore le mercredi". But it appears from the web that both are used, even if the singlar version is more popular.

"J'aime le mercredi" has 232,000 hits

"J'aime les mercredis" has 43,300 hits

So shouldn't this lesson cover the duality and shouldn't the quiz question accept both answers?

Bonjour AurélieIn the examples and resources ,the example:” Il faut ranger sa chambre “ should be translated “ He must tidy his room “ instead of “ you must tidy your room “ .I don’t understand why it is .Maybe it is mistake of typing? Thanks.

Is it possible to reset one's score?As I move forward, I notice that I am getting good scores on things that I am likely to forget after a few weeks. When I practice them several times in a row, then my score gets higher and higher. If I feel that there are things that I ought to practice for longer, can I reset the score of them?

Why is the correct form of ''You and your friends play football.'' "Toi et tes amis jouent au foot."?According to the lesson, "Toi" plus anything else is supposed to create a sentence with the verb in a "vous" form. Shouldn't it be "Toi et tes tes amis jouez au foot"?

Qu'est-ce qui te fait penser ça?D'habitude, quand vous avez introduit une nouvelle tournure comme <qu'est-ce qui te fait penser ça>, j'aime bien essayer d'utiliser soit <en> soit <y>. Dans ce cas-ci, où on se trouve soit <en> soit <y> au lieu de <ça>. J'ai du mal à trouver où on met les deux mots. Autement dit, qu'est-ce qui te en fait penser ou qu'est-ce qui te fait en penser ou peut-etre on utile <y>. Penser à ou Penser de? Peut-etre ce n'est pas possible d'utiliser ni l'un ni l'autre. Merci d'avance. Don

Is this expression being overused in KwiziqThis expression keeps coming up in these quiz questions. Usually it is in a choose-one-from-list situation where it is indeed the best choice. But isn't it misleading since many of these cases would normally be adequately translated using Le Present since the emphasis on the continuous nature of the action is not required?

Demain

I was marked wrong in a quiz for "Tu achètes une nouvelle voiture demain". It wanted "Tu vas acheter une nouvelle voiture demain". How does this differ from the example in this lesson "Je viens demain".
