I am puzzled that I received the mark of 0/60 for this exercise.  I made only two mistakes   on se rend and I omitted the brackets around amour et longue vie.

If I'm saying I had a good time last night and I'm female, would it be *Je me suis amusée?*

For the quiz question whose meaning in English was given as 'I see [some] girls.

I answered:  Je vois quelques filles - which was marked incorrect.   'Je vois des filles' was the correct answer provided.

Was my translation incorrect ?    I asked an AI engine the difference - the difference it provided was subtle and both seem correct given the lack of specificity in the question.     

How can I determine if I can use the historical past to describe a past event? Does it work effectively for both l'imparfait and le passé composé? For example, to convey the following sentence in French: I was working when the phone rang.

Normally, I would say: La telephone a sonne quand je travaillais

But with a historic past, can I say: La telephone sonna quand je travaillai.

Why does the adjective in this case come prior to the noun: 

Lisa est une très bonne vendeuse.

But in this case (also describing goodness or quality) it comes after:

Maurice est un professeur excellent.

Does this indicate that the BAGS guideline doesn't apply to the adjective excellent?

Here's a famous mnemonic tip to help you remember adjectives that come before the noun: you can call them the BAGS adjectives, which stand for

Beauty (joli/beau)

Age (vieux/jeune)

Goodness (gentil/méchant).

“You are reading the instruction manual”. Why should this not be “en train de lire” instead of a present indicative conjugation?

I learned that “N’est ce pas” is rarely used these days in France.  A simple “non?” is commonly used instead.   Is that false?
