7:40 or Twenty to eight?Have I mistakenly learned that you can say either "Il est sept heures quarante." or "Il est huit heures moins vingt." for "It is seven forty." or "It is twenty to eight."

How do we know if a verb is feminine or masculine?

Is there any trick as such to consider them? I often find myself confused in the gender parts. Thanks

Use of élève versus étudiant(e).

I have a student who was taking an A0 test. She was asked how to say "Marie, you are a student." and was given the prompt 'Marie tu...'. She answered 'Marie tu es élève.' and Kwizbot told her that she was wrong, that it should be 'Marie tu es étudiante." Why would 'élève be incorrect? I was under the impression that they were interchangeable, so I need to understand the usage differences...

"Dans tous les cas" vs "en tout cas"

How come "en tout cas" is not an acceptable translation for "in any case"? To me, they mean the same thing but perhaps there is a difference in connotation?

C'est quoi vs Qu'est-ce que c'est ?

What is the difference between C'est quoi ? and Qu'est-ce que c'est ? and in what context we use them? Both of them seem same to me in English.

Do we say the word cent after the "cents"In the sound files in this lesson it sounds like they are saying the word "cent" after the cents for currency. Is that correct? I went back to the lesson on decimals and they don't pronounce it that way on that lesson or am I just hearing it wrong? Example Ça coûte 1,20 € le litre. They appear to say "un euro vingt cent". Thanks
