tes or ton possessive adjectivesIn the quiz a question is mentioned as: Tu prononçais mal tes "s". "s" being one alphabet it may be said as "ton". Hope It is right.

Not really about the topicWhen doing thé quiz. There was a question: 1969, we went to conquer the moon. (I paraphrased à bit) Anyway, partir was ued instead of aller. Is that Just colloquial ? And can aller be used ?

Cover it

The question asked: "Couvrez-vous la tete!" Write "Cover it".

I answered "Couvrez-la". It wanted "Couvrez-la-vous".

Can you explain why the Kwiziq answer is correct. I could see it if the vous was an indirect object but it does not seem to be. For this reason it is not similar to any of the examples in the lesson.

Is it because "la" refers not just to "the head" but "your head", i.e. "the head of you"

Devoir: « je dois partir »= I ought to go, I must go, and also ? « I should go »? Or is the last of these « je devrais partir »?

Le jour d'après / Le jour d'avant and Le jour suivant / Le jour précédent what  is meant by "these can only be used on their own"?   thank you for your help.
Le jour d'après / Le jour d'avant

These can only be used on their own, and will mean the same as le lendemain and la veille, although they're a bit less elegant, more used in speech.

 what  is meant by "these can only be used on their own"?   thank you

Le jour suivant / Le jour précédent Le jour suivant, Ali Baba retourna à la grotte.On the following day, Ali Baba returned to the cave.Le jour précédent, ils avaient quitté leur vieil appartement.On the previous day, they'd left their old flat.

As for le jour suivant (on the following day) and le jour précédent (on the previous day), they are used in a past context just like le lendemain and la veille, but always on their own.
