A couple of minor comments

Since the 1990 spelling reforms we should be allowed to write "s'il vous plaît" with or without the little hat (circonflexe) on the "ï", but this exercise doesn't allow us the option of leaving it off (in either of the 2 sentences where it occurred).

Also (and this is even more minor) the "hint" gave us the wrong spelling of "Guinness", although it was then correct in the actual answer.

Agreement of tout

In “dont les noms sont tout aussi appétissants”, why doesn’t “tout” agree with the subject (“les noms”)? I was expecting to see “tous”.

Correction boards?

Hi Céline - you have replied to a couple of queries on the writing exercises this week (including this one) asking people to report it on their correction boards. Both people replied that they couldn't find how to do that. And I can't either. I can find neither a "report it" button or a "correction board" on either of the 2 exercises concerned. What are we all missing? Thanks.

Accent generator not working correctly

I have Dell XPS 12, with Windows 10 21H2.

Each time I try to generate an accented character in KwizIQ, I end up with 14 characters. So, as soon as the accented character is presented, I watch 13 other identical but non-accented characters marching across the screen.

I tried several mice. Each mouse produces the same pattern.

My touchpad is always off.

Please advise.

Thanks

Je fais le lit après que tu t'es levéJe fais le lit après que tu t'es levé. I'm making the bed after you've got [US: gotten] up.

I'm a bit confused by the meaning of this sentence (the temporality). If it refers to a one time thing (not a habit) then is it referring to future actions ? i.e. is it an equivalent of "I will make the bed once you have gotten up ?" Or does it mean that I am right now doing the bed but I have started some time in the past after you have already gotten out of bed ?

Why is this wrong?

Can anybody explain why this is wrong?.. I can see pour as an alternative but why is pendant wrong here as it is, surely, expressing a duration.

Par exemple, la semaine prochaine, pendant Pâques, nous ferons une chasse aux œufs en français !

Giving "pour" as correct.
