Elsa gave her little brother his toy back. -> Kwiziq answer

Could this also be translated as "Elsa gave her toy back to her little brother"? How do you know who the toy belongs to?

Thanks

I carried out a test where I entered the complete text word by word until it was fully typed. I didn’t make any mistakes during the process, as I wanted to understand how the scoring system worked. However, even after completing it correctly, I still received a score of 0 out of 60. Could you please explain to me in more detail how the scoring works?

Why is j’ai de la farine correct when je n’ai plus de farine is also correct? Ie why is de la farine correct in the first sentence (per my last quiz?)

Same  question: you have a word for female acteur: actrice, so the correct answer here is Michael is speaking: je suis acteur, but you have a word for a female professeur (namely, professeure) so why is the correct answer not Leon to the question who is speaking " je suis professeur" 

Why is the correct answer: either male or female? The lesson says this:

Mon professeur Bruno et ma professeure Sarah sont gentils

So why is the answer to: "Je suis professeur" not "Leon", why do you say that it could be either?

thanks 

Hi! Why are the dashboard and Brainmap not updating after the system upgrade yesterday?

The quiz response was, "vous avez", but every other translation engine I have used says that "vous êtes" is correct.  That would seem correct as the verb has no direct object (I don't think "the stairs" is a direct object).

Can you explain?

For my question 1 I had: "Ni l'un ni l'autre n'est venu"

I was wondering why it is 'est' not 'sont'? Based on the lesson, does this just mean it is referring to something that for some reason both parties would not have been able to come to simultaneously?

Salut,
Can I write apporter quelques changements in this context? I have read that although apporter is normally reserved for physical movement of objects, it can be used figuratively too.
Merci!

"...que mise sur les celebrites"

i am not sure if that is some form of 'mettre', or is that the noun "entrust"?

it is possiby an acceptable shortening of a compound verb, without the auxiliary?

merci
