Où est-ce que mets-je mes chaussures d'habitude ?

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?

English questions

In today's quiz all the content was in English! I am already an Anglophone...

Was that a glitch, was there an English/French toggle I didn't see or what?

Omar Sy et Lupin

j'adore la série Lupin et l'acteur Omar Sy. vous avez raison, il possède un charme hors du commun. je l'ai vu pour la première fois dans le film "Les Intouchables". Maintenant, je vais devoir le chercher sur YouTube pour regarder les sketchs! :)

Role of "des"

I don't understand the construction of " j'avais des démangeaisons ". What is the role of "des"? It looks like a preposition between an auxiliary verb and a main verb. Or is "démangeaisons " a noun? It certainly looks like a verb. Thanks for any help.

Sens d'une Expression

Bonjour--

De temps en temps, je vois une construction selon l'exemple :

"Et Christophe (ou Pierre, Marie, etc.) de dire (ou autre verbe)..."

Pourriez-vous me confirmer 1) si cette construction est courante, et 2) si elle reflete un francais litteraire, ou bien a la rigueur si elle fait partie du francais couramment parle?

Un grand merci,

Fred

Reflexive verbs and Possessive Articles

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!
