small typo in one answer

I wrote "des" grands ballons and this was marked as correct. I should have written "de" grands ballons. It's correct in the final read-through, but not in the exercise itself.

This question relates to:French writing exercise "A great party for Mum [US:Mom]!"

Bonjour Kate,

Both answers are accepted in the exercise and "de" is definitely the best answer out of the 2. In French, using "des" in this context has become a very common error in everyday French, so much so, that we decided to accept it as a correct answer. However, as per the lesson, it is far better to sue "de grands ballons".

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
