marked wrong on quiz

Why was I marked wrong on a quiz for including "quel est un pain au chocolat" in ways to say what is a pain au chocolat?

Bonjour Kimberley,

The sentence "quel est un pain au chocolat ?" might look like a good translation for "what is a pain au chocolat?". But I'm afraid, word for word translation doesn't always work from one language to the next.

In French, you won't say "quel est un pain au chocolat ?" to express "what is a pain au chocolat?". Instead, you will say:

Qu'est-ce qu'un pain au chocolat ?

Qu'est-ce que c'est un pain au chocolat ?

C'est quoi un pain au chocolat ?

 

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
