Exercise skipping past checkpoints

While doing this exercise, it went right on to the next section without giving me the chance to compare my answer or give myself a score on two of the sections. Hence the score of 50 out of 60. No big deal, since this was a very simple lesson for me. (Although it was useful in learning and recognizing the names of brands of beer, even though I don't drink beer!) I just want to do all of the listening exercises for practice.

I simply wonder what might have happened.?

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

Negation with numbers

J'ai trois soeurs. Does this change to Je n'ai pas trois soeurs or je n'ai pas de soeurs. If the latter, then do all numbers change to de??

Il ne croit pas que nous lui voulions du mal.Il ne croit pas que nous lui voulions du mal.

Is the above sentence missing a "faire"? I'm wondering if it should say "nous lui voulions faire du mal"?

Avoir l'air (+ adj)

The recommended translation for 'tiny hairy faces seemed worried' is 'de minuscules visages hirsutes avaient l'air inquiet' - inquiet agreeing with air rather than the subject visages.

Is it not also an option that it agree with visages?

I am looking in Larousse which says that the adjective following air agrees with the subject of the sentence if that subject is a thing and, often, with the subject if it is a person ('Elle a l'air sérieuse').

les a tous

From the above notes, I undertand "les tous livres"=all the books

and tous can be also used alone to refer to all (of something mentioned previously)

But I cannot find the explanation of "les a tous". I know it means “all of them” but what the role the "a" serves here?

Merci beaucoup!

Prenait vs. prendraitWhy doesn't, "She would wear it all the time" not translate to "Elle le prendrait tout le temps"? 'Would wear' is the conditional tense, no? Thank you.

Compound tense : n'en + [auxiliary] pas+ [past participle] + [number]

Merci beaucoup pour votre aide :)
