According to this lesson, "Marie a manqué l'école." should translate to "School misses Marie." But in the quiz, the correct answer is "Marie didn't go to school."

When I click on the Learn and Discuss button, it redirects me to the "manquer (de)" page, which is not what is used in the original sentence (manquer à).

Wouldn't the proper translation be "Marie a manqué d'école"? Help is appreciated.

plural of cent

In this lesson, Expressing Numbers from 70 to 999, the paragraph which begins "Note: Before the 1990 Spelling Reform, numbers including et as well as numbers higher than 100 didn’t include the hyphen...", has two examples, "deux cent" and "deux-cent", neither of which have "cent" written as "cents". They should have an "s" at the end shouldn't they, since they are not followed by another number?

What is the meaning of "Aurélie n'est qu'allée au marché"?

The answer choice inlcudes 'Aurelie only went to the market - and nowhere else' and 'Aurelie went to the market - and did nothing else'. Can you please explain why these sentences mean different things? Aurelie only went to the market. End of, surely?

Stress pronoun

Having just looked at another lesson on stress pronouns I thought in this case the stress pronoun came second: Tes amis et toi...???

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?
