Nous nous aimons

means

1)we love each other

2)we love ourselves

The recommended translation of 'It [the year] started with the biggest heartache of my life' is 'Elle a commencé avec la plus grosse peine de cœur de ma vie'.

Is there a reason why 'avec' is preferred over 'par' in this sentence?

The example cited in the page of instruction regarding ''Expressing intervals of dates and times in French = from ... to' is 'The festival lasts from the 24th of July to the 5th of August'/'Le festival dure du 24 juillet au 5 août'. 

I am therefore puzzled by the answer to the fill-in the-blank question 'Le festival dure ________ mai/The festival lasts from the third to the tenth of May'. My answer was 'du troisième au dixième', while the answer provided as a correction was 'du trois au dix'

Perhaps I'm being stupid, but my answer seems to follow the example better than the correction. Where is my error?

Vous êtes un amateur de vin

 Vous êtes un amoureux du vin

Bonsoir

Pourquoi dans phrase 1 de vin

et dans phrase 2 du vin

Merci en avance

Just querying why it's leurs and not leur here. In a previous dictée I was told that it would only be leurs plural if each of the parties had several of the thing being talked about. Well surely, they each only posessed one "look" which crossed with the other's one "look", so why not "leur"?

Is "des belles choses" possible? (Or just wrong).

I've been following the Kwiziq recommended study plan and have mastered the level A0 topics. I've managed to get my score to 100% for the entire A0 level. However, Kwiziq still recommends level A0 lessons no matter how many tests I take. Will Kwiziq eventually start putting level A1 lessons into my study plan? Or do I have to do something to toggle it? 

Thank you.

An alternative correct answer to the above was "...qui tapissait derrière..."

In that case, shouldn't (my answer) "...qui s'accroupissait derrière...' also be acceptable? 

In one of quiz’s question it asks something like qu’est cet homme? And the answer is ; c’est (name of the person). I was wondering if we can say “il est…” instead of c’est. Since its asking about a particular person and while studying “il/elle est” it says if its asking about a specific thing we should use it. I need a bit clarifications please. 

Why we have "Je donne de l'argent" and not "Je donne l'argent"
