Can I write "Je les tiens précieusement" instead?

we use "soirée" in the sentence CETTE soirée s'est très bien passé which translates to "THAT EVENING" , even if we consider it to be a duration and not a point in time ,isn't there a rule that when we use demonstrative adjectives(this, that etc. ) we use quantity words like jour, an, soir etc.  

Because of the 'hint' that 'the action was completed' I changed my initial answer from 'Ce Noel etait' to 'Ce Noel a ete' - but I find it's 'etait' in the above version.

I also had used the word 'etincelantes' but this was scored out and replaced with 'brillantes'.  

This is by no means the first time that similar things have happened and I'm a bit peeved that I've had to mark myself down needlessly.

You really need to work on these types of exercises. Sometimes if there are two example sentences and you write one word from example one but the rest of your sentence matches example two, it marks that sentence wrong even though it is right. You need to include every combination of correct sentences!

Who's there?  Who is answering these questions?  To whom am I addressing this note?

I would truly like those questions answered.  I would also like to know why, when reviewing my incorrect responses on a quiz and tapping "discuss this" button, I'm directed back to the lesson that just taught me the incorrect answer.  I want a reasonable discussion regarding my answer and why it was incorrect.  Because, as far as I am concerned, the answer is correct according to the sentences in the lesson.  Directing me back to those sentences just proves to me and my novice, uneducated mind that I am correct.  -SLS

I think it would be really helpful to have english translations to understand what I'm listening to. Other than that, this is great thank you

Why it says "docteur ès sciences mathématiques" rather than "docteur en sciences mathématiques"? Does it have different meaning?

How can I add an accent mark to "a" when answering what city I am from?

merci
