questions not completed....In this Kwiz, you state that I did not answer two questions, no 7 and no 8.
But I have a screenshot of my answers, showing that I DID answer them and had both correct.
This seems a bit unfair. I really got 8/10.
The other question I have is about question 1 (time duration). I got "Phileas Fogg avait un jour d'avance." right, using "avoir".
You state that your answer of "Phileas Fogg était en avance d'un jour" (using "être" is correct, but in the lesson, it says that the correct cuse of "étre" is: Phileas Fogg était un jour en avance.
So, I think that your "étre" construction is wrong.
Thanks. Please comment by email.

I have quizzed this question 3 times. The first time I chose 'sa'. I was given 'son' as correct. The next time I chose 'son'. I was given 'sa' as correct. The 3rd time I wrote 'sa' but apparently should have written 'son'. What's going on here?
If s'inscrire (to register oneself) uses être as it's a reflexive verb, then why do we say "Le mois dernier, nous avons inscrit Thomas au judo" and not "Le mois dernier, nous sommes inscrits Thomas au judo" ?
On regardait les lucioles, et soudain elles ont toutes disparu.
Why is it soudain and not soudainement?
Hello,
I got these words wrong and they weren't offered as alternative answers. Can you explain why?
FUN FAIR: foire vs fête foraine
RIDE: attraction vs manège
Thank you!

il en existe toutes sortes - why isn't is this : il en existent toutes sortes.
It looks like this is never used in the plural - an impersonal phrase, is that correct ?Thanks

Hey, I was reading the following explanation of this topic, in the example at the end, should not be
deux-cent-trente-cinq
instead of
deux-cents-trente-cinq?
Note: Nowadays, following the Spelling Reform it is recommended to use hyphens with any numbers lower or greater than 100 (quarante-et-un / deux-cents). However, when using "millier(s) /million(s) / milliard(s) de" you do not add the hyphen before these numeral words (deux-cents-trente-cinq millions d'euros).Hi teachers/fellow learners, for the last sentence "où Le Débarquement a eu lieu en 1944" I was under the impression that for known facts we use present tense in French, but it turns out that passé composé is more suitable. Can you tell me more about this? Thank you so much.
