Per the given definition of the use of demeurer, je suis demeurê makes no sense since the question refers to a state of mind and not a location. Why is that given as the correct answer?
Why is the correct answer à moitié, which I take to mean halfway, an adverb?un demià la demiune demieune moitié
This was a question in one of the quizzes:
Il m'a offert une boîte ________ bijoux pour ranger mes colliers.
Alexandre is a proper noun, so shortening it to "qu'Alexandre" is optional and not necessary. Yet I got marked wrong for writing "n'a embrassé que Alexandre"
Why is the expression not included in the list of given words? Surely it is less common than say enfin, car which are included?

Some example please, in negative and questions?
I needed to Google ‘Roland Garros’ to find out that it was the name of what I’m sure most of us know as The French Open. I thought it must be a player so answered accordingly. Thank you for accepting my answer even though it was incorrect!
Just to let you know, for “OK, but it's on me!” the first answer “Ok, mais c'est moi qui t'invite !” doesn’t have an audio file.
Hello everyone.
I'm reading the book, La Belle et La Bête, and I saw une année passe. Why does it use année instead of an?
Thank you
The example cited in the page of instruction regarding ''Expressing intervals of dates and times in French = from ... to' is 'The festival lasts from the 24th of July to the 5th of August'/'Le festival dure du 24 juillet au 5 août'.
I am therefore puzzled by the answer to the fill-in the-blank question 'Le festival dure ________ mai/The festival lasts from the third to the tenth of May'. My answer was 'du troisième au dixième', while the answer provided as a correction was 'du trois au dix'
Perhaps I'm being stupid, but my answer seems to follow the example better than the correction. Where is my error?
