About se promener et promener

Bonjour Aurélie, Laura

I was wrong when writing”Je me promène avec mon chien”. Kwiziq has an example in the explanation :” Je me promène dans le parc avec Julie”. The différence here is la place “ dans le parc”,right? I feel confusing. Thanks a lot.

Ways of saying it was cold last night

What is the difference between

Il fait froid hier soir And

Il faisait froid hier soir

The translation is identical and the lesson doesn’t clarify it.

The meaning of s'amuser

My Barron's French Verbs defines s'amuser as: to have a good time, to amuse oneself, to enjoy oneself. Although I know "Amélie s'amuser au cirque" implies she is having fun, you gave as a possible answer also "is amusing herself". Since you guys a normally very exact in what you allow as correct in your tests, why do you now not accept a technically more correct answer?

Ca - can't type an upper case Ç or ç (c-cedilla)

Kwiziq smartly points out that I "should" have used an upper case Ç (pasted in here) although there is no way to actually type that character in the exercise. When I try holding the C key, it shows an upper case cedilla c, but does not allow me to enter it.

Duh........

In this lesson, the placement of "bientot" is different. Is this interchangeable? Nous aurons bientôt une nouvelle voiture. Ils auront 20 ans bientôt.
