I have read the lesson and the questions and answers below. From what I can tell, Leila finit sa soupe tres vite should indicate in passe simple that Leila finished her soup very fast. The lesson indicates that the context of the question should indicate which tense is being used; there is no apparent (to me, at least) context that would suggest that she is finishing her soup quickly (present tense rather than passe simple). To have given both answers suggests that we should use both because each is possible, which confuses me. I've read and re-read the answers and I'm still not entirely certain that I understand the logic here. Please help!!

Pendant v pour

Hi, my kwiz question was “Jeanne is going to France for three days”. The answer was “pendant trois jours” but the lesson suggests that it should be “pour trois jours”. Can anyone explain?

Hi, I’m having difficulty with this. The lesson said that a correction had been made to allow both « qu’est-ce que c’est le Sacré Cœur (le Quai d’Orsay) and qu’est-ce que c’est que le Sacré Cœur (le Quai d’Orsay) to be considered correct. However, today my answer with « qu’est-ce que » was marked wrong

The destination.

I am confused. Why is "à Lille" understood for the first clause but included in the second clause.

Le premier train part à sept heures moins le quart, et il arrive à Lille à huit heures.

The first train to Lille leaves at quarter to seven, and it arrives in Lille at eight.

Enlightement

Hi dear French learners,

Would you mind helping me understand which translation is correct between the Italic and Bold part of the target text?

Part of the reason for that could be the large number of Americans who aren't accustomed to taking regular vacations, and who therefore have not developed an effective strategy for readjusting to their routines when they do. According to the 2017 State of American Vacation study, 54 percent of Americans left unused vacation time on the table in 2016, while 43 percent of employees said that their reason for opting out of vacation was the “the mountain of work” they’d have upon their return.

Une des raisons pourrait être le grand nombre d'Américains or Cela pourrait s’expliquer en partie par le grand nombre d’Américains qui ne sont pas habitués à prendre des vacances régulières et qui n'ont donc pas élaboré de stratégie efficace pour se réadapter à leurs routines lorsqu'ils le font. Selon l'étude menée en 2017 sur l'état des vacances en Amérique or Selon l’étude sur l’état des vacances aux États-Unis de 2017, 54 % des Américains ont laissé du temps de vacances inutilisé sur la table en 2016, tandis que 43 % des employés ont dit que leur raison de se retirer des vacances était la « montagne de travail » qu’Ils auraient à leur retour.

Thank you.

égal or égale

Hi,

I am still confused as to why 'égal' is marked incorrect .. Can you explain when in your examples of the two sentences, deux plus deux égale/égal are used.
