Nous faisons virer de l'argent une fois par mois

How do we know in which direction the money is going? Is it coming to us or are we sending it to someone? The English implies it is coming to us.

Why "Ils sont punis..."?

In the micro quiz, the first question is "Ils sont punis pour avoir sali leur chambre." Why is être used with punir? In the second question, it uses avoir (as I expected). Thanks in advance!

Tu vs toiThe lesson uses “Toi et moi sommes amis.” However the test question uses Tu et moi instead.

Can you explain when to choose toi in place of tu?

CETTE soirée s'est très bien passé

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.

I am Confused!en is used with feminine countries (the ones ending in -e, except for Mexique, Cambodge, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Belize) and continents (

)

I am confused.. why the “except” if those countries and continents are feminine.. if the except means they are masculine, the (all of them are feminine)” makes no sense!

Sorry, I have just read the grammar point on c’est and learn that the adjective after it is always masculine. If all else fails, read the instruction!
