"Je mange des algues et je nage souvent avec les poissons." There both indefinite and definite articles in this sentence. Why not, "Je mange les algues et je nage souvent avec les poissons," or "Je mange des algues et je nage souvent avec des poissons?" And also, "J'aime bien aussi collectionner les coquillages." Why not, "J'aime bien aussi collectionner des coquillages?"

etre vs avoir

I can't seem to differentiate between the cojugate form of etre and avoir when used with the first person Je. Par exemple:
Je suis grand.
versus
J'ai cinq ans.

They both seem to mean "I am" in the above sentence.

Why is this wrong?

On the quiz, I missed this question:

Tu aimes le violet ? Oui, ________ est très joli!

I answered with 'il', because it fits the criteria that we are not talking about something general, but something specifically referred to previously: the color violet. The answer was actually "c'".

Can you explain why?

Why is only one "Take test" button greenI started kwiziq on level A1. Meanwhile I am working on kevel B2. All levels from A0 to B1 show a green dot on the left. My scores in each of the levels are above 80%. Yet only the "Take Test" button corresponding to level A1 is green. Can you explain what that signifies and the condition when either a button or a dot turns from grey to green? Thanks, -- Chris. P.S.: I would like to filter only my questions or, even better, be able to subscribe to certain threads on the q&a page. Otherwise I can't find my questions and any answers posted to them. Otherwise great page!

Let's avoid them an awkward situation

The subject text was part of a recent pronouns exercise.

As I understand it the use of the imperative voice was being tested and I wrote "évitons-les" which was incorrect and the correct answer was "évitons-leur" .

I don't understand this because the verb éviter is transitive not intransitive?

I would like to understand why the correct answer is not évitons-les?
