Aller vs partir

In 1969, we went to conquer the moon. I wrote on est allés but was marked wrong for not using parti when another lesson used on est allés for “we went” so I’m confused and the lesson is about agreement with on. Doesn’t explain why parti is right and allés is wrong. Also, I don’t get email notifications so don’t see any answers to questions unless I happen to run across it elsewhere. Help! Thanks.

I have a questionAt the beginning of this lesson you said "ATTENTION: it never means to pass (succeed) an exam." But in the kwizzes youre marking it as correct in "Il a passé son examen". I took a screen shot (http://i.imgur.com/gDxj3dx.png). By any chance do you mean He passed his exam (e.g. to the teacher, to the person infront of him)? Its kind of confusing when youre using the same word in different contexts.

Bien à vous

Un ami m'a écrit que quand on utilise l'expression "bien à vous" à la fin d'un email ça n'est pas écrit par une femme à un homme. On dit "Une femme n'écrit pas "'bien à vous" a un homme, une femme n'envoie pas ses "sentiments" à un homme." Qu'en pensez-vous ? Quelle est la règle grammaticale appropriée ?
