Talking about a specific day of the weekIn this exercise, there is the line "Le dimanche, comme il faisait beau..." which I assume is intended to mean "On Sunday (specific day), as the weather was nice..." but does not correspond to the teaching of the below lesson which states that "Le dimanche" means "On Sundays" (plural) and that "Le" needs to be omitted if you want to talk about a specific day.
Can you please clarify the discrepancy. Merci d'avance :)

ATTENTION:You will NOT use le when talking about weekdays in a specific context (on Monday):
Mercredi, tu iras à l'école.On Wednesday, you will go to school.
Mardi, je vais au théâtre.
On Tuesday, I'm going to the theatre.
Why is this "jour" and not "journée"?
This is the first lesson I've run across that is confusing, so that's pretty darn good! There are no examples of third person plural except the irregular one, so a novice has no idea what the third person plural rule is for regular verbs. Please update so make it clear that aient is indeed the ending for regular as well as irregular verbs (maybe by using a regular verb as the example since this page is supposed to be about regular verbs). Thanks.
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.
This was my question, then I answered 'Annie a gagné dix milliers d'euros'.
The system did not accept it. ..okay, maybe I wrote dix milliers de euros - instead of d'.. I guess that was the problem.
However, the explanation I had, was 'Annie a gagné dix mille euros'.
Can I also use the other option above, 'dix milliers d'euros'?
Merciiiiii

In "j'irai au Carnaval de Nice", why is the word "carnaval" capitalised.?
Their own website does not use a capital for "carnaval" in “le carnival de Nice”.
See this page where there are 2 instances:
http://www.nicecarnaval.com/le-carnaval
although, strangely, in other parts of the page, in different contexts, the word is capitalized.
How would you say "I'm going to get my nails done today." ? I thought "Je vais me faire faire les ongles aujourd'hui ", but am not sure.
Can I not write "depuis la naissance de ma fille" en place de "j'ai donné naissance à ma fille"?
Can I not write "seulement" instead of "ne...que"
Finally, for the sentence "et ceux pour lesquels c'est impensable" I wrote "et ceux pour qui cela est impensable" I used cela and not ce because it referred to an idea in previous part of the sentence. Please explain why cela is wrong here or why c is correct.
Thanks in advance!
