Le lac, so The lake, not A lake
Why is the translation 'Le club fermera dans dix minutes" wrong in answer to the question "The club closes in 10 minutes''
when 'fermera' translates to 'will close' Or 'The club will close in 10 minutes'
But 'Le club ferme dans dix minutes' is the correct answer. Surely 'will close' and 'closes' is the same meaning.
The old house where my parents lived. Is it an ancient house that my parents once lived in or is it a modern house that they formerly lived in?

Kwizik should be more tolerant of "minor" spelling mistakes. Writing "... cause de bruit" instead of " ... cause du bruit" does not mean I don't understand the grammar point!
What I don't understand is that I was marked wrong for choosing the literal translation (which you provided in the lesson itself) rather than I don't mind. That doesn't seem right. Particularly when initially learning an idiom, the literal translation helps one to remember the indirect object. If one is only allowed to choose one answer, then you shouldn't offer two that are correct. At the least, why didn't you mark my answer as "parital"?
I just tried twice to complete a test on lui & leur. All the alternatives in the drop-down list appeared in English, not French. What's going on? The corrections were all in French!!
