Valentine et moi prenons aussi des cours de rockle vendredi. Elle est une très bonne danseuse, et quant à moi, je fais de mon mieux !
This was marked as wrong, for the "Elle est" part. It says that I should use "C'est une très bonne danseuse" and points me to this lesson. Après moi, y a quelque chose qui cloche là... Is it really wrong to use "Elle est"? If so, why?
I understand that, in general, you'd use "c'est" when it's followed by an indefinite article, but that rule doesn't seem to apply in this case. Correct or not, it just doesn't sound right to me. Moreover, the fact remains whether "elle est" is actually wrong here.

One of the quiz items is "Je ferais n'importe quoi par amour." Why is "par" used here instead of "pour"?
Before anyone answers I think I can see it now. Is it the use of 'pouvoir' that makes the translation 'could' while 'avoir' gives more the sense of 'should'?
Unfortunately I make lots of mistakes in spelling and often do not answer a question. These can be caused by my clumsiness when using touch screen tablets. It does not necessarily mean that I didn't know the answers. Would it be possible for Kwiziq to introduce a filter which allows the learner to override these "mistakes". I make spelling mistakes using touch screen tablets I would never make when writing long hand. It seems that my keyboard skills are being tested not just my French.
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.
the statement was just je....... rentre, as there was nothing(chez,dansetc) after rentre i used avoir but it was wrong, so why is there sometimes nothing after rentrer when used with etre?please
