étudient et enseignant

Hi, I was wondering why the words 'étudient' et 'enseignant' were not accepted for 'student' and 'teacher'. 

Merci!

ApologyThe above question should have been inserted into the lesson called 'à + qui, auquel, à laquuelle = to whom, what, which, (relative pronouns)'. I have now inserted it to the correct lesson page.

Quels bonbons tu as choisis

Quel est le temps pour le verbe choisir dans cette question ? Je pense qu'il faut passe composé, parce que on utilise avoir, mais le participe passé de choisir est choisi.  Merci!

I thought that "Faire mes devoirs ou dormir, je préfère ceci plutôt que cela." meant "I prefer the latter (dormir) rather than the former (devoirs)"

But the Note says that ceci means former and cela means latter.  Which is correct?

None of the "hints" are showing up with the quiz questions.For example: HINT: virer de l'argent = to wire money HINT: Conjugate "s'habiller" in Le Plus-que-Parfait

Soit de l’argent, soit un cadeau

Why is it de l’argent which I thought meant some money. The lesson wrote: either money or a gift. So why was soit d’argent wrong? Thanks.
