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.

Any reason why l'hôtel de ville wasn't a possible answer?

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.

Subjunctive needed?

Hi, in the first section, why is it “que j’ai réunis” instead of “que j’aie réunis”? I thought that the verb following “que” needed to be in the subjunctive.

Thanks, Brian
