I was marked incorrect for: "Combien ça coute ?" for How much does that cost. Shouldn't Combien ca coute or Combien cela coute? work just as well?

... le basilic à la salade

The English text had the word "and" before "the basil", and I seem to hear it in the French audio in the short segment that accompanies the text. Surely "et" should be part of the sentence?

Merci!

Why is this wrong?

On the quiz, I missed this question:

Tu aimes le violet ? Oui, ________ est très joli!

I answered with 'il', because it fits the criteria that we are not talking about something general, but something specifically referred to previously: the color violet. The answer was actually "c'".

Can you explain why?

Bonjour tout le monde !Je voudrais savoir: comment on peut exprimer l'intention en français ? J'ai realisé que j'utilise ces expressions d'intent tout les temps en anglais. Par example : "He said he WOULD do it" ou : "I WAS GOING TO come, but..." ou : "It was supposed to be..." etc,J'éspere que vous pouvez comprendre mon français. S'il vous plaît, n'hésitez pas à corriger les erreurs.
