Difference between quiz question and lesson examples« Je possède trois appartements, ---- deux sont loués » is one of the kwiziq questions in this section.
« J'ai trois enfants, dont deux qui sont au collège. » is one of the examples from the lesson.
Also from the lesson " If including / [number] of which is followed by a conjugated verb, in French you need to add a relative pronoun (qui or que / qu') in front of the verb. "
There is no space in the question to write "dont deux qui sont loués" in the quiz answer.
Is this a mistake in the question/answer format, or is there a grammatical reason for the difference -eg passive voice - that I am missing ? The explanation and examples in the lesson do not seem to match the answer this question, as presented, appears to call for.
If 'Allons-y' is 'Let's go', what is the French for 'Let's go there'?
Asked to translate, “ In the evening before a test “, I wrote, “La veille d’une épreuve” which was considered incorrect. The answer given was, “Le soir avant un exam”. Why was my answer wrong especially as “exam” does not feature in Harrap’s Shorter French And English Dictionary or Le Robert de poche. Test is translated as épreuve and examination is translated as examen. In a school context tests and examinations are different the former being of less importance.
Isn’t the character who marries Cosette called, ‘Marius’ and not, ‘Marcus’? :-)
Can the above adjectives be used interchangeably in this exercise, as only 'hilarant' was provided in the correct options.
When doing these exercises I use the Library Index to search for translations of words/phrases I am not familiar with.
In this case I searched for "magical" and the result shown was féerique. This however was marked wrong!!
I also searched for "pitch tent" and could not find a result for pitch but got a result unrelated to tents, so searched for tent and found to put up a tent = "installer une tente"
This too was marked wrong and instead "planter" was the word used. However planter is not even in the Library index.
What is recommended as the best resource for definitions for these exercises so that we can find the correct translation?

There is discordance between the hint and the 'best answer' indicated.
The best answer was listed as " ... ravi de TE rencontrer" with the answer "...ravi de VOUS rencontrer" getting the strikethrough and relegation to the 2nd line!
Both accepted, which is lso not quite right if 'vous' is needed in the social context.
(And the final transcript uses 'enchanté' alone, which although correct, would make the clue to use polite 'vous' redundant.)
Tu as fait un voyage intéressant pendant les vacances d'été. Décris ce voyage en utilisant le passé composé et l'imparfait (dix phrases).
I used the first person plural form of the verb for two reasons. Because the explanatory sentence used "we", not "one" or "people", and because although we may well know that everyone in our group is dying to meet her, we certainly cannot know that about the general public.
Why was this wrong?
In the first sentence, could it be où rather than quand, referring back to the 5:45 specified? If not, is it because où is only a restrictive relative, or something else?
