The quiz question was Lucas a monté la nouvelle armoire de sa sœur

How is this different from Lucas a monté les escaliers?

In otherwords, why is "Lucas climbed on top of his sister's new wardrobe" incorrect?

Thank you

In the last sentence we use c'est to represent the baby girl. Meanwhile, all along we knew we were referring to her as a girl and not expressing a general notion. How come we used "c'est" instead of "elle" in the last sentence? Thank you.

Why isn't nouvelle année not in caps? 

I have always used imparfait for repeated events or actions in the past. However, you suggest passé composé in: "She saved up all year round" = "Elle a mis de côté..". I have found a reference that almost applies "..an action or event repeated a specific number of times" but there is no such specification here. Saving money over time seems to me to be an habitual or repeated action.

Goodmorning, in the writing exercise "A favour between colleagues" the solution can be:

- "Qu'est-ce que je peux faire pour toi ?" or

- "Que puis-je faire pour toi ?"

Would it be incorrect to say "Qu'est-ce que puis-je faire pour toi ?". Thanks in advance.

Could somebody please rewrite the explanation of irregular 'e-less' adverbs, found under the example box of vraiment, etc, into shorter, clearer english?
