En posant vs En en plaçant vs En mettant

Dear team

I was wondering if I could use "en plaçant or mettant" instead of "en posant" .

Perhaps "en posant" is used in a physical sense ?

Thank you again for all your help !

Sens bon

I am confused about the questions regarding Sentir bon and Se sentir bien. For example the sentence ‘I smell good’ can refer to two different things in English. ‘My sense of smell is good’, or ‘I physically smell good.’ How do we know which the question is being asked when the question is posed in English to be translated into French. I believe there would be a difference in translation, am I correct in this thought?

Multiple Correct Responses

I didn't do as well as I had hoped yet for every response, I had portions of the phrase correct. I agree with the comments here that when the phrase is incorrect, you shouldn't respond with 'well done.' Also, it appears you are grading on the way you expect the answer to be; however, there are multiple ways to express the phrase and many of my answers were the alternative. Granted, the spelling was wrong and I missed some words but I understood how to express each phrase. I would profit from knowing what I need to work on vs 'well done.'
