English: I knew who was invited, but I didn't know the other details.
French: Je savais qui était invité, mais je ne connaissais pas les autres détails.

Bonjour.
Désolé. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi cette phrase est incorrecte (it was marked as such in the results of the quiz):
Où est-ce que mets-je mes chaussures d'habitude ?Seems like we have the question word at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the inverted verb and then the subject, no?
