This is a question on grading the writing challenges (which are great-Thanks!)I struggle with grading the Writing Challenges. An example I have just had: The correct answers were (1) "on a beaucoup de choix", and (2) "on a plein d'options". My answer was a mixture of the two: "on a beaucoup d'options". Question: when there are two correct answers, are the parts 'interchangable'? Are "a plein d' " interchangeable with "a beaucoup de", and "d'options" with "de choix"? Or is the correct answer exactly as it is written in the first or the second sentence? I hope this makes sense! Thank you in advance for your help! Terri

quand vs après queFor this translation: We will call you when we've taken the train, The correct answer used quand but I used après que. This was marked wrong. Aren't these two interchangeable?

Après avoir / après d'avoirAfter watching the film: Après d'avoir regardé ce film- was marked correct. Why it can't be said as: "Après avoir regardé ce film. Is it because 'watching' is considered a gerund ? Thanks.
