Line 7: My answer of vingt-huit was marked incorrect compared to Kwizbot's answer of ving-huit - no 't' at the end of vingt.

The corrections give the options of both subjunctive and indicative conjugation following the verb "esperer". Can you clarify? Thanks

Why were these word provided:

"chestnut", "to roast", "fireplace", "nutmeg".

They did not appear in the story at all.

By the way, we would never say “At the Doctor”. It’s always “At the Doctor‘s”. This is short for “At the Doctor’s surgery”, although this expanded form is rarely said. So we would say “I’m going to the Doctor’s”, “I’m at the Doctor’s”, and so on. We can, however, use “Doctor” without the possessive with the statement “I’m going to see the Doctor”. Also, it’s worth mentioning that a surgery, in this context, is more-or-less an office and not anything like an operating theatre. 

I wrote this on my own time and was wondering if anyone can help guide me where I went wrong if anything is not right?

Je me réveillé we huit du matin. Nous sommes allées du faire shopping. Lorsque je suis rentré je practique Mon français et regarde la télévision. Je nettorai ma chambre demain. Aussi je parle we Mon copain sure let telephone. Aujourd'hui je Marche dans ma neighborhood.

Thank you for responding

Tu es reste' enferme' ____________ une heure.  I put "pendent" which should have been "durant".  I have reviewed the lesson and can't find any distinction between pendent and durant.  What am I missing?
