French language Q&A Forum

The question was: "Les parents sont ____________ la Poste."  The hint sais that the parents were at the post office.  My response was "Les parents sont dans la Poste."  QUIZBOT said that the correct response is "Leas parenat sont a (with accent) la Poste.  Why is "dans" not correct?    

Do we lose points for omitted commas and other punctuation? When I had dictée exercises in France the instructor/narrator always included reading punctuation marks.

On the 4th or 5th question, in the english phrase they wish us to translate, at the end of the phrase, there is a point ("."). But when i put the point in my french phrase, it was marked as wrong, causing me to lose points, I assume. 

Please fix this error or explain it to me!

Thanks,

Karina

comme j'aime les chats, j'ai particulièrement apprécié cet exercice. au moment où j'écris, mon chat dort au soleil sur son lit, où elle restera jusqu'à ce qu'elle ait faim ou qu'elle veuille être caressée :)

For this to be correct, doesn’t the subject have to be female? I answered that only “Tu as apparu comme un ange” was the only correct answer because I couldn’t assume that the sub just was female

why is 'ça' used to refer to 'le recyclage' and not 'il'? Like 'Il réduit la pollution' for instance or 'il limite des déchets'?

There should have been included in the vocabulary list additional words including

the Halloween characters. These are words that are not part of daily speech.

Alors:

"Maman EMPORTAIT toujours beaucoup de....."

"Tu APPORTAIS tes poupées....."

Better to use correct grammar, esp. on a teaching site ...AIN'T that so?

Je te le dirai quand tu auras promis de te taire. Where did the pronoun le come from?

Hello

on the quiz: "we are leaving at four:" I chose "nous sortons à quatre," because I took it to mean "in the process of." But "partons" is correct, because "sortons" requires an actual place. Is that correct? 

Thanks
