Why is this not in Imparfait? It's a description and the family, presumably, continues to love dogs. 

Mon chien favorit s'appelait Pip.  Why the imparfait here?  It seems a simple statement, neither ongoing, repeated nor descriptive.  It doesn't seem to fulfill any of the criteria of the imparfait.

My question relates to "Kwiz functionality", rather than anything in this lesson. I could ask the same question in any other Lesson.

I prefer the 2-question Kwizzes to the 10-question Kwizzes.

If I try to repeat the same quiz, I get the message: "This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like." 

That's fair enough.

I do:

 - Go to Notebook
 - Open this same lesson.
 - (The URL is obviously different, but text is the same). 
 - Scroll down to the 2-question Kwiz
 - I see the same negative message. 

So, how do I "...kwiz this topic as many times as you like." ?

Thanks.

why is 'regarder' in the infinitive when the word is 'looked' which is in past tense? why isn't it 'regardé' ?

I don't understand why we use "j'en ai pour" ? What's the reason behind this?

Why doesn’t the past participle take an extra ‘s’ with ‘nous’. Isn’t there more than one person, like ‘ils’? 

Wouldn’t the translation be 

Cher Matt, chère Kate, je vous manque.

I’m confused by the instruction given for how to use this phrase.  Both present and imparfait are defined as “used to” in the examples.  what am I missing?  Of course for the very first question about this topic I bombed. And I don’t know why. Is there any additional instruction on this topic?

I understand that the choice of verb has to do with how fast you are running.  As a former runner, I don't see a great difference between trotting and jogging.  My dictionary gave trottiner as a possibility for jog.  Should it have been acceptable? 

When do you use the definite article with countries and regions?There's a kwiziq lesson about this: Using le, la, l', les with continents, countries & regions names (definite articles)

But in the text, country and region names are never accompanied by the definite article. E.g., "Duché de Bretagne," "royaume de France," "couronne de France," etc. 

Also, I translated "beforehand" as "à l'avance" instead of "au préalable," which I thought were the same thing, but it wasn't one of the accepted answers.
