I don't want to be pedantic but the sentence "A few months ago, I worked from my house for three weeks. ." the best answer was "Il y a quelques mois, j'ai travaillé de chez moi pendant trois semaines." the final para however reads "Il y a quelques mois, j'ai fait du télétravail pendant trois semaines." (A few months ago, I was teleworking for three weeks.) I realise there are many ways of saying the same thing but this was not given as the best option and seems to be different to the text being translated. It might be time for me to have a break!
Asked to translate, “L’Oréal are selling a new product,” the correct answer given is “L'Oréal vend un nouveau produit” I assume that this product is new on the market, in other words a new creation. Why then is the correct answer not, “produit neuf”?
I'm perplexed. My answer to a quiz was marked wrong when I translated "by tonight" as "d'ici soir". Apparently it should be d'ici ce soir. But by tomorrow is "d'ici demain". Could you please explain the difference because the lesson doesn't address this. Thanks.
1) Les enfants reviennent des États-Unis et de France ('des 'because US is plural and 'de' as France is singular I assume)
2) Les enfants reviennent de vacances. (Here is 'de' used because it follows reveinnent or because vacances is singular in French?)
3) Elle se souvient des vacances en Espagne. (What is the justification for the use of 'des' in sentence 3? Why is it not 'de' as in 2) above?)
The email labelled this exercise as B1, but once opened is labeled A2. I thought It was rather easy.

Il va leur téléphoner.He's going to telephone themIl va appeler ses parents. -> Il va les appeler.He's going to call his parents. -> He's going to call them.
In these above examples, why are both the direct and indirect object pronouns placed in between the verbs instead of in front of both of them?
Merci.
Bonjour Kwiziq!!! Je m'appelle Trung et je viens de DongNai au VietNam.
These both talk about a specific time periods. "the morning" and "that evening". How do I distinguish them? I am struggling with this distinction.
Can someone explain why I answered this incorrectly? I answered "nous sommes brossés" and it told me that the correct answer is "nous sommes brossé". The rule quite clearly states that the past participle should be modified to agree in number and gender though. We is inherently plural, so shouldn't an "s" be added to the end? Or am I missing something here?
How does one - are we going to the cinema?- My answer was Est ce qu'on va au cinema. the correct answer was on va au cinema. Was it not a question?
