Could someone please direct me to the correction board as per Céline's suggestion below?

I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find it.

I was expecting to see “j’ai encore retardée mes achats” because the speaker is female. Does the exercise use “retardé” because the object of this part of the sentence is “achats” (a masculine noun), and not the female speaker?

I'm curious about the adjective placement in "fervent défenseur." Would it be equally correct to say "un défenseur fervent" as a way to start this sentence?

Ces fêtes ________ incroyables.

It seems to me both Imparfait and Passé Composé could be used here, for different meanings.

"Ces fêtes étaient incroyables."  Those parties [which happened regularly, a long time ago] were amazing.

"Ces fêtes ont été incroyables." Those parties [which were not long ago, and which happened only once (e.g. in a specific summer)] were amazing.

Why can’t you use “de bonne heure” for “early” instead of “en avance”?

I don't understand why "depuis" is used here despite the fact that we use "depuis" for ongoing actions as stated in the lesson below.

Using the present tense (Le Présent) - and not the compound past (Le Passé Composé) - in sentences with "depuis" (since/for) in French (French Prepositions of Time)

Note also that you use qu'est-ce que if it appears at the start but quoi at the end.  

:: This sentence is a little confusing, do you think this is more clear 

Note;

you start a question with "qu'est-ce que"; in order words, "qu'est-ce que" only appears at the start of a question. However, you end a question with "quoi"; in order words, "quoi" only appears at appears at the end of a question.   

Example

Qu'est-ce que tu fais?
Notice how the sentence starts with "qu'est-ce que"

Tu fais quoi?

Notice how the sentence ends with "quoi"

question was about walking in MOMA but what is that? effects use, no?

Bonjour,  dans une leçon controverse, il'y avait la question de "touts les vendredis" ou "le vendredi" pour aller en ville.  Selon la leçon, la façon correcte pour exprimer : Paul takes the train every Friday =  Paul prend le metro le vendredi.  Dans cette exercise, vous constatez que Ma soeur va nager le samedi est faux pour dire "every Saturday.  

Quelle response est bonne ou est-ce que quelque chose ou régle m'echape?

Merci,

Diane
