Two of the three options for this were "Oh! I watched this one yesterday too" and "Oh! I watched it yesterday too." I selected the first option, because "ça" is a demonstrative pronoun, not a personal pronoun. But the microquiz said that "I watched IT" was the correct selection. I was happier when I went to an explanation, because there, the translation was "I watched THAT." Should "ça" ever be translated as "it"? I'm sure this is nitpicky, but I'm a linguist fluent in Spanish, and the details matter to me!
Thank you.
Is 'un pique-nique' really a packed lunch in French and not a picnic? Could you say "J'ai pris un pique-nique au travail" and it means some food that you took from home and ate at work? I always assumed 'un pique-nique' was really the same as in English, taking food from home to sit and eat outside somewhere in the sun.
Hi! Hoping for some clarification about the agreement differences in the two correct translations: "de longs cheveux blondes," and "les cheveux longs et blonds."
Hi,
I was wondering why is it "je suis fière d'être utile" rather than "je suis fière être utile". Would it be incorrect to ommit the 'd'' in this case?Thanks,

In this weeks Weekend Workout 28-09-2018 'Mrs Durand's Menagerie' we are asked to translate:
'Mrs Durand lives in the countryside, its perfect for animals.'
There are two correct answers given for 'its perfect for animals':
C'est parfait pour les animaux! AND Elle est parfaite pour les animaux!
The lesson, however, shows how to choose between the use of C'est and the use of 'Il/Elle est' ... implying that only one of these two options is correct in any given situation.
Could you please explain why both options are correct in this particular instance.
Thank you
