Quand at beginning or end?Why is ´Quand on ouvre les cadeaux ?´ an incorrect response in the testant ´On ouvre les cadeaux quand ?´ is correct? As per this lesson, when we use the inverted form, the question word is at the beginning of the sentence.

mon amie Rachel est une très bonne maquilleuseI noticed in your Week 29 A2 Halloween writing test, the above phrase was given as the correct translation of 'my friend Rachel is a very good makeup artist.' From this, can we take it that a descriptive adjective before a profession requires the whole phrase to take an article? Thanks again.

Revision KwizzesI really like the format of the site and how you see progress through tests. However I am concerned that stuff that I have learnt earlier in a section is not going to stay with me for ever. Does the site and the lessons presented cater in any way for revising and reinforcing previously learnt sections? Thanks, Richard.
