tes vs vosIn the lesson we saw, Montre-moi tes mains!. In the quiz I was asked to put Show me your hands and entered Montre-moi vos mains, which was marked wrong. I think with tes or vos would be correct depending on who you were talking to. Am I wrong?

When used in a questionYou wrote 'When used in a question, "où" always means "where?" and "quand" always means "when?"' but didn't give an example. Does that mean "Le jour où j'ai eu vingt ans" become "Le jour quand ai-je eu vingt ans?" Thanks.

Definite articles with "de"This is probably a hopeless question, but why do masculine countries require an article with "de" whereas feminine ones do not? Why not "Je viens de la France"?
