I have a student who was taking an A0 test. She was asked how to say "Marie, you are a student." and was given the prompt 'Marie tu...'. She answered 'Marie tu es élève.' and Kwizbot told her that she was wrong, that it should be 'Marie tu es étudiante." Why would 'élève be incorrect? I was under the impression that they were interchangeable, so I need to understand the usage differences...
With "How are your holidays going?" Why is "Comment vont vos vacances." not acceptable?
Could you briefly tell me when to use vous avez and vous étes since both mean "you are"?
or can we use either of them is any case?
BUT HOW TO IDENTIFY WORDS WITH L' ARTICLE , example: l'animal (animal) is masculine, and l'armoire (wardrobe) is feminine, and l'assiette (plate) is masculine ????
What is the difference between C'est quoi ? and Qu'est-ce que c'est ? and in what context we use them? Both of them seem same to me in English.
