Unanswered questions and scoring.I understood that marks are not deducted for unanswered questions. However, I made no errors in a test but had 2 unanswered questions (1 in error) and I was deducted 0.6%. I should be working on B1 and B2 but because I am only 2% short of 100% in A1, I have been determined to achieve that level. Over time, I have done 12 tests with lots of ups and downs and am no nearer reaching 100%. It is much easier to progress at B1 and B2 than it is at A1!! Bien cordialement, Beverley

Why is this correct and the other not?Why is je mets mes chaussures où d'habitude? correct but when you invert the verb and keep the rest the same it is incorrect? Per the quiz "mets-je mes chaussures où d'habitude? is incorrect. I didn't choose either of them as it seemed strange to have the où in the middle like that but was surprised to see one of them was in fact correct. Please explain. Thanks.

Use of "en" to indicate "it" - one of something.I've become comfortable thinking of "en" as "some" or "some of them" as in your example "Il m'en a offert." But it's use as "it" in "Elle leur en a parlé" is throwing me. Why "en" and not "Elle la/le leur a parlé" ?

Oh my. This looks like a permanenet discussion point.

Write "We play cards." : Nous ________ cartes .jouons aux

"Nous jouons aux cartes" could mean we are playing cards or refer to a specif time they play cards.

Could one say " Nous faisons des cartes" in answer to a general question about whether or not a family or group know how to play cards? They coud actually be learning to play bridge for example.

Hello,

I have a question. My practice sentence is she cancels the trip. My answer was Elle annule la voyage but the correct answer is le voyage.

My question is why is voyage with a masculine ? When the ending is age which is feminine.

Thanks

Nicole
