1. In the numbers test, quatre-cent-cinq was a correct answer. We don't use cinque for numbers above 100?
2. In the lesson you have deux-cents (with a hyphen), and cinq cents (no hphen). Is cinq cents an exception to the hyphenation rule?
Why was qui est-ce qui not correct? Qui was the correct answer. I thought the two were interchangeable and both correct?
Thanks

Elle m'en donne quatre toutes les semaines. Is said to be the correct translation of She gives me four every week. Why is it that the "of them" is understood in English but not in French? Maybe I'm being difficult, but it would seem that the "of them" should be clear either from the preceding information or just clear to whoever is hearing the phrase. Please clarify -- is this another French idiosyncrasy???
How does personne work in a sentence written in past tense?
How would someone say “nobody believed me” for example? Is it “ne m’a cru personne” or should it be something different?

Why isn't it "qu'est-ce qui sent comme le chocolat" if the answer is "what smells like chocolate"? It looks like "what does chocolate smell like."
English speakers don't say, "It's equal to me but we DO say, "It's all the same to me," and "If it's all the same to you, then..." That strikes me as the corresponding equivalent, based on my vast knowledge gained from levels A0, A1 and A2!
