«fermer la lumière»

Hi! I've been living in Québec for a while now and i just wanted to check something? When I translated turn off the light as fermer la lumière, it said that the correct way to say was éteindre la lumière. i've never heard anyone say that before, it's always fermer when you want to translate turn off. Is that just a Québec thing? I thought everyone said that

A1 beginner focus test

two issues:

#1: question was: “What is the French number ‘14,052’ in English?” This question should read “What is the ENGLISH number ‘14,052’ in FRENCH?” A lot of your number questions are written back to front.

2nd issue: I answered ‘14 052’ but it was marked wrong and the less common ‘14.052’ was given as the correct answer. But my answer is correct...?

differnce between -ant and -er/-ir/-re

Hi,

since using the -ant and the infinitive both mean -ing in english, what's the difference between them and when would you use one and not the other?
