Could you please explain why the future tense of être (to be) is incorrect when translating 'there'll be'.
"It is green" still gets "il est vert" marked wrong, despite the fact that it appears to refer to a specific item (as opposed to using "c'est vert," the preferred answer, which would indicate something more general--despite no indication of such in the sentence). Tired of having my score set back (I had to use up most of my free quizzes for the month to make up for this). Please fix. Would also be nice to have the "report it" button on the page that people seem to say exists but which I have never seen.

« ma mère s’est fait ranger ma chambre « n’est pas français. it is total nonsense.
I have read most of the discussion about the use of "dont", and I don't understand why it's wrong in this question. Can anyone explain it - simply, if possible. auquelà quoi
Please could you add the term 'kernel' or 'stone' to your translation of 'noyau' ('pit')? This would be helpful for UK learners.
"Depuis que Catherine a changé de carrière il y a quatre ans, plus personne ne la reconnaît." I understand this to mean "Ever since Catherine changed her career four years ago, no one recognizes her anymore." I would never have known where to put that "plus!" I might have thought "personne ne la reconnait plus." Would that have been wrong if I had been constructing the sentence instead of doing it as a dictation?
And a couple of little periods have been inserted in the vocabulary section at the beginning: eg. te.lle. I like to look at this section as the whole piece is being read to me and I noticed these tiny typos.
Hello,
I hear a rhotic r sound in majestueuse. Is this a regional difference in accent?
