"Ce n'est pas un problème" ?

In one of the test the question is:

"Désolé, j'ai oublié mon argent. - Oh, ________." Sorry, I forgot my money. -Oh, it's not a problem.

The correct answer given was «Ça ne fait rien.»

Why couldn't i say "Ce n'est pas un problème" ?

connaître vs connaitreI was just judged incorrect for suggesting "connait" as the 3rd person present indicative version of the verb (should have been connaît). Now, I often go to fr.wiktionary.org to look up words' meaning and conjugations. It lists two verbs, connaitre and connaître with very similar meaning. Are these two distinct verbs or just two alternative spellings of the same verb?

Monté les escaliers Bonjour, According to my French teacher and on some websites, the correct way to say “You went up the stairs in silence.” is “Tu es monté les escaliers en silence.” as opposed to “Tu as monté les escaliers en silence.” Can you please clarify? Thanks!
