The lesson text implies to me that either are correct. It states that French dates require cardinal not ordinal numbers and includes "un (1)" in the list of examples of cardinal numbers. The "le premier (1er)" is then listed as an exception that "we do use". It is not clear from this whether "1er" must or may be used.

Could this please be clarified?

"il me reste des croissant du weekend".

If I rewrite to "il lui reste des croissant du weekend", does this mean he have some croissants left from the weekend?

Cette pomme est bonne. - Oui, c'est bon.

This was asked 4 years ago and never answered.
"This apple is good. Yes, it is good." is the stated English translation.
Had the English translation been "Yes, THEY are good", then "c'est bon" may be correct.
But, as stated, since IT is specific and refers to THIS APPLE, the French should be "Oui, elle est bonne."

Thanks Chris. That's a little more confusing than I expected because it says in the lesson that aucun/aucune are always singular.I know this should be an answer to your question Chris but there is a bug in Kwiziq that sometimes doesn't all submitting new questions or answers.

devoir... and avoir besoin de ...

I am struggling a bit with the use of these, for example "You need a new bike" I would have thought either correct but the quiz says only besoin de is correct. Have tried reading other threads but none the wiser.

telling time

In one quiz (Kwiz) I was asked to translate "five thirty AM" I wrote "cinq heures trente" assuming the 24 hour clock. This was apparently wrong because apparently we were talking about a 12 hour clock.

In the very next quiz (Kwiz) I was asked to translate "ten minutes to seven AM" so I wrote "sept heures moins dix du matin" which was also wrong because we were now apparently talking about the 24 hour clock (not apparently for any other reason).

Would it be possible to tell us whether we were talking about 12 or 24 hours on the clock?

My natural presumption is for 24 unless otherwise specified.
