"I do not have any money money left"Is the same as"I do not have any more money" so why put both these answers to the same question, because they are both right in English.

Can you use eut/fut instead of avait, is that wrong?I know it's only gonna be right for literary writing and storytelling, but still. You can do that instead of the pluperfect in writing, right?

«Je sais le faire» means

In the test the correct answer is "I can do it". Based on my current knowledge, it literally means "I know how to do it"

Is this just a case of creative license in translation?

Long and short scale.Billions, trillions and so forth can be confusing. Two scales are used. A long scale, used in many english-speaking countries: 10^3 - thousand 10^6 - million 10^9 - billion 10^12 - trillion 10^15 - quadrillion 10^18 - quintillion 10^21 - sextillion (each "-illion" increases by a power of 3) And a long scale, used in most european countries: 10^3 - mille 10^6 - million 10^9 - milliard 10^12 - billion 10^15 - billiard 10^18 - trillion 10^21 - trilliard (each "-illion" increases by a power of 6 with a "-illiard" in-between) This can be confusing for an european when reading international news. For example, when the US is spending a trillion(en) dollars, it's actually spending a billion(fr), 10^12, not a trillion(fr), 10^18.

Le nombre de fois/Combien de fois

I translated "how many times" (I've got lost) as "combien de fois" rather than "le nombre de fois". This was not listed as an alternative, but according to my Reverso app they are both acceptable in this context. When would you use one rather than the other?

on is a singular for we. It takes an auxillary verb in the singular; therefor the past participle should be single also so it should be on est allé
