Hello, if "la perruque" is female, why its "noir"  and not "noire"?

I don't understand why in this lesson the example is given i.e. the ez is dropped from the verb

-Donne-moi les fleurs!

-Give me the flowers!

However, I have been marked as incorrect by doing what seems to be the exact same thing.

Make this statement into an order : "Vous me donnez les fleurs": ________ les fleurs!imperative

·         Donnez-moi RIGHT

·         Donne-moi WRONG

Is this a mistake on your part or am I missing something here?

Why is this "que l'on" rather than "qu'on" ?  I don't understand the "l"

Bonjour.

Désolé. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi cette phrase est incorrecte (it was marked as such in the results of the quiz):

Seems like we have the question word at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the inverted verb and then the subject, no? 

It took me a moment to understand this heading - does it mean that 1 Describing and 2 Expressing Opinions are two different uses of l’imparfait? (rather than both describing opinions and expressing them)

Hey,

I am. not sure if its ok to post this here. But I noticed that in the lesson on reflexive pronouns.. it says -en nous endoromons, nous (for present participle)

Shouldn't it be -En nous endormant, nous..... What am I missing?

Ou "je ne vais pas persiter"

Si les étudiants sont répartis dans le monde entier, pourquoi l'école ne sélectionne-t-elle pas un contenu accessible à tous ? Pourquoi l'école sélectionne-t-elle un contenu dont l'accès est connu pour être limité géographiquement ?

Il faut que j'aille chercher mes parents

vs.  je dois chercher mes parents

vs.  il faut que je cherche mes parents

Pourquoi les autres deux réponses ne sont pas correctes?

To say - "The thief is in prison for 2 years." ....are all of the below correct/acceptable ? Is 'Depuis' more preferable with present tense/ present durations and no. 2) 'Pour' is incorrect? because Pour is used with future tense/ future durations only as per this lesson?? Please clarify.

1. Le voleur est en prison depuis 2 ans. 

2. Le voleur est en prison pour 2 ans. 

3. Le voleur est en prison pendant/durant 2 ans. (also acceptable bcoz action is within a specific timeframe, as per this lesson?)

So, out of the above no. 1)- 'Depuis' is the most preferable way to say it because we are using present tense (and the action is still ongoing)?? And 'Pour' is not correct because it is strictly for future durations as per this lesson?
