question of proper tenseFor translating: When she wins the race, she'll be happy, I used aura gagné because it happens first. But the correct answer was Quand elle gagnera. I figured they were trying to trick me with the "When she wins". Wouldn't it be correct to use the future perfect?

I'm not sure that "pronounced something wrong" is good English - incorrectly or badly?

correction of previous question I askedThe correct answer to the kwiz I'm referring to, in my previous question on this Q&A site, is: Le monstre dévoila des canines blanc et pointues. (apologies! .. I'd written pointres instead of pointues previously) Cheryl

agreement of adjectives when two adjectives describe the same nounBonjour! I thought that if two adjectives were being used to describe the same noun, then you wrote these adjectives both in the masculine form, even if the noun is feminine, e.g. Elle a acheté une nouvelle robe blanc et noir. Yet, the correct answer in a quizz I did was "les canines blanches et pointres", not "blancs et pointres". Can someone please explain this? Cheryl.

Passé simple:Yes I agree that it does avoid the passé composé rules but....if it is only used as a written tool, why are there so any questions using it? While there may be a lot of the 77,000+ people using this site to learn French, I would bet a lot of money that most of us are learning to be able to speak it properly. Just my frustration. I would prefer more attention be given to idioms such as the ones in the weekend challenge.
