My new school bag is blue and yellow

I answered: Mon cartable neuf est bleu et jaune

Kwiziq wanted: Mon nouveau cartable est bleu et jaune

I took the phrase to mean that the bag was brand new, so I used "neuf". Is the phrase ambiguous or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Salut,

pourquoi on dit "C'est un ange !" quand on parle de la fillette ?

la fillette = elle, n'est-ce pas?

Merci.

I was marked wrong for typing the latter response. Is this because the subject (nous) does not change? Therefore the second part of the sentence must remain in the infinitive?

It seems to that this phrase means "I will go to work in public transport."  In other words, she will be working for (or in) the public transport system.  Shouldn't it be "J'irai à mon travail en transport en commun."?

If I recall, the hint was to use the term, 'Ivory Coast', which tricked me up.  I normally would use 'Côte d'Ivoire'.  I opted to accept the hint, which was not accepted.  I felt duped by the hint.  Perhaps others fell into this same trap.  Take a look at it.
