Would "absent" work?

Whatever I choose its wrong so there's some weird little French nuance going on … in English you could say ' You are friends' or 'They are friends' 

Would it be possible to say je SERAI enfin la Reine during château at the end? If I'm feeling very positive that this will come about cf just imagining a theoretical case where it would? I understand conditional would then be required.  

Il devait me rappeler, mais il a oublié ! He was supposed to call me back, but he forgot! 

Now how would you say.. he was supposed to remind me?

A million years ago when I was at school doing French dictees, the teacher would read out the punctuation. Would it be possible to do that, too? I don't feel like docking points off my score because I put a full stop rather than an exclamation mark! 

Bonjour,  

Je voudrais noter un petit erreur dans la leçon: il y a sept continents, pas six. Il y a deux "amériques," l'Amérique du Nord et l'Amérique du Sud. Dans votre liste de "toutes les continents" vous avez seulement "Amerique."

Bonne journée!

P.S. Je suis dans le Niveau A1, alors je suis désolée pour mes erreurs. Les excusez, s'il vous plaît.

Why is en depit d’un prix très élevé wrong? 

This is a trick, isn't it. That 'to inhabit' is a synonym for 'to live in' in English is exploited here. Damn you.

Did a quiz, apparently answered wrong, and am now very confused.

The question: Elle ________ monté le poney de Jérémie et il a été très docile.

I went with "a monté". The quiz says the correct is "est monté".

Going by the Q&A, it seems like my answer was correct.  I am stumped in two ways. 

First, the Q&A says that avoir followed by the past participle is used for getting on a horse. This is a (pro)noun followed by a direct object. The lesson uses the example a "a monté mon cheval". I'm struggling to see why the verb auxiliary would switch based on who owns the horse. 
Second, assuming I have the first part wrong someone how and être is the correct auxiliary, should the correct answer not be "est montée"? The subject is feminine.
