In the question...

Comment ________ tes vacances ?How are your holidays going?... I wrote "vont" instead of "se passent". Why is that unacceptable, given that you can say "Comment allez-vous?"? Can you only use "aller" with people to mean "go" in this sense?

Thanks for the encouragement on the world environmental outlook as well as your encouragement of our sometimes snail like progress.  I did this exercise 3 years ago and improved from 49 to 53.  While I have made some meager progress, I feel the world, particularly with what just happened in the USA, is moving in the other direction.  Nevertheless, I will continue the march toward toward fluency.  What would help would be the ability to review your mistakes from past exercises.  If there is a way to do this, I don't know how.  In any case, thanks for your support and keep the challenges coming !

in america, there is no such thing as "i will lay the table" that literally means you are making or forcing the table to lay down. but you would not do that to an object, nor would you phrase it that way because a table cannot lay down, it stands and does nothing else. i am finding a lot of phrases that are difficult to translate because of this. i have also sought help with french speaking friends who have helped me and when i provide the answer, the platform says i am wrong and reverses the answer. such as the case with adjectives position before or after. 

I remember a lesson (https://www.lawlessfrench.com/grammar/aller-lesson/) saying that "aller" always has to have a destination indicated. (Hence allons-y! rather than allons!, etc.) Is "avec toi" enough to satisfy that rule?

In this text we have : une petite Margarita , une grande pizza Quatre Fromages, and une petite Hawaïenne.

On the internet I am seeing a mix of Pizza names with capitalisation and without capitalisation (in French).

Should they be capitalised, or are both capitalised and uncapitalised names acceptable ?

Thanks

Paul
