“Early” in French

Why can’t you use “de bonne heure” for “early” instead of “en avance”?

Dix mille rosesAnnie a gagné dix ________ euros.

This was my question, then I answered 'Annie a gagné dix milliers d'euros'.

The system did not accept it. ..okay, maybe I wrote dix milliers de euros - instead of d'.. I guess that was the problem.

However, the explanation I had, was 'Annie a gagné dix mille euros'.

Can I also use the other option above, 'dix milliers d'euros'?

Merciiiiii

Unusual EnglishI can't imagine why one would say "Kissed themselves"It would be like saying " I kissed myself" Doesn't make senseKissed each other is fine but even "each other" can be omittedTom and Paula kissed in front of the mirror. Who else would they be kissing?

''Tom et Paula se sont embrassés devant le miroir.'' can mean:Tom and Paula kissed each other in front of the mirror.Tom and Paula kissed him in front of the mirror.Tom and Paula kissed themselves in front of the mirror.

Future Simple

Is this correct?

Si je gagnerai au loto demain, j'achèterais une nouvelle voiture.
