Bonjour, pourriez-vous changer un petit truc dans le passage, s’il vous plaît? Au lieu de la phrase

would 'je peux recharger mes piles' be acceptable?

At a minimum, it seems like there should be a conjunction or a que to better structure the sentence.

Anyway, can someone translate/explain this sentence?

Why do you use translations in the full text playback that are not the translations said to be the best when providing feedback on the student-submitted translations?  Are they perhaps the ones used most by native speakers.

It’d be nice to have an example of what to do with the past participle of être verbs when using "on" when it means "we".  I can’t find this covered in either of the modules On : we.

I am wondering why it is not "toute" in the second sentence since it would seem to refer to "la rentrée" which is feminine.

il raconte une histoire à mon ami- il lui en raconte (or it should be  il la lui raconte"?) if it's 2d option, could you please explain why? thank you!

commence par une vocale et que quand il commence par une consonante, est-ce qu'ilya une règle?

Hi Kwizik

I am a Premium member and really enjoy the Kwizik model of learning, but I also use a number of other apps, books and websites to study French.  I also use 2 or 3 Translators to verify my study before committing “pen to paper” but I am getting a bit frustrated with being marked down in Kwizik, when I have picked different phrases from the recognized and popular translators (Reverso, Google, sometimes DeepL).     The latest exercise is  “a day in my cat Max’s Life.   

EG.  donner un câlin or faire un câlin?  I chose donner - Kwizik said wrong, should be faire.

EG.  Nourriture sèche pour chats or aliments secs pour chats - Kwizik said wrong, should be croquettes.  

These are just a couple of examples, but I have many more.

My question is therefore, can Kwizik please suggest the best translator app to use, one Kwizik recommends, which will give us the best information so we get things right.  Everyone uses translators so it would be handy to have that information.

I look forward to hearing back from you.  Thanks - Jo

I answered incorrectly "au haricot vert", and was wondering if the difference is audible? Though perhaps this is something to know context rather than hear.
