Do you use c'est if a partitive article follows as well? 

I used the word bémol for that. Why would it of 'hic' be considered wrong. There are several ways of saying one thing.

Hi all I used ( tandis que ) instead of pendant que, in the first line.  and it marked it as an erreur. any explanation for that please?.thanks.

I don't understand why the present tense - devient is used instead of the future tense.

I think a better translation for: "Je tins la robe avant d'aller à la soirée." is , "I wore the dress before going to the soiré"  the "correct" translation, "I held the dress before going to the soiré" makes little sense, the response could only be, "Oh?".

Is there any difference in meaning/nuance/register between

'Ce magasin est fermé de deux heures à deux heures et demi'

and

'Ce magasin est fermé entre deux heures et deux heures et demi'? 

I think I tend to use the latter more often, and I'm now wondering whether it's incorrect, or makes me sound odd.

During the exercise, per the bot, "tomates-cerises" is correct.  However, the finished text has "tomates cerises" with no hyphen.  Which is correct? 

Would someone please explain to me why you would write "Je me brosse les dents deux fois par jour." in stead of "Je me brosse mes dents ..." I'm uncertain why you couldn't use mes even though you're also using the reflexive verb. Merci!

The clues are very confusing. Why write U.S. right away as a clue. I thought that was what the interlocutor actually said. So although I wrote tout de suite initially I corrected it given the clue.
