Hello. Can you make a more clear distinction on when to use marcher and when to use aller a pied?I just got wrong this sentence in a quiz: "Tu marches à l'école". Its suppose to be "Tu vas à pied" but I dont understand why. I know that "aller a pied" makes reference to go to a destination, but Is "Tu marches à l'école" really grammatically incorrect? Why?

C'est qui qui

"C'est qui qui" is not grammatically correct but used as an example (see above). If listed as a multiple choice option on a quiz, will it be marked wrong if chosen (because it's grammatically incorrect). Just curious.

Imperfect vs past conditional

Why does the "Si" clause use imperfect tense and not past conditional tense when the main part of the sentence uses present conditional tense?

(Yes, the answer is likely "That's just the way it works" - but I am curious.)

Why is prochain sometimes used before and sometimes after the noun?

Hi Kwizig Team,

Can you tell me why prochain is sometimes used before the noun as in la prochaine fois and sometimes after the noun as in lundi prochai. Is there any difference in meaning (as in dernier)/

carte bancaire vs carte bleue

I notice that "carte bancaire" was used here, not "carte bleue" and carte bleue wasn't given as an acceptable answer. Is it falling out of use in France ?
