I thought that the inclusion of ni … ni in this answer meant ‘neither Sam nor Paul’ not just ‘Sam and Paul’. Am I mistaken?
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"
The lesson re the above clearly states that “If it/ he/ she is followed by a determinant you will use c’est.” Why then, after taking Lucie’s temperature does the doctor say, “ Elle est un peu élevée” and when taking her blood pressure, “Elle est un peu basse”? I can understand why he would say “Elle est élevée” or “Elle est basse” but surely the given answer contradicts the rule.
"It is green" still gets "il est vert" marked wrong, despite the fact that it appears to refer to a specific item (as opposed to using "c'est vert," the preferred answer, which would indicate something more general--despite no indication of such in the sentence). Tired of having my score set back (I had to use up most of my free quizzes for the month to make up for this). Please fix. Would also be nice to have the "report it" button on the page that people seem to say exists but which I have never seen.

I understand that aucun is more emphatic than pas de, but does "Je n'avait pas d'idée ..." not work for this sentence as well? Thank you.
Which tense would lendemain be , as it can be used in both imparfait,future anterieur
My new school bag is blue and yellow
I answered: Mon cartable neuf est bleu et jaune
Kwiziq wanted: Mon nouveau cartable est bleu et jaune
I took the phrase to mean that the bag was brand new, so I used "neuf". Is the phrase ambiguous or am I missing something?
Thanks!
I’m confused by the instruction given for how to use this phrase. Both present and imparfait are defined as “used to” in the examples. what am I missing? Of course for the very first question about this topic I bombed. And I don’t know why. Is there any additional instruction on this topic?
I wrote "Puis nous irons chez nous vers 16 heures", is that really wrong. I see that "rentrerons" is better, but is it wrong what i wrote?
