The correct answer should "I am happy, and they are, too." The first missing common is tolerable but not the second. Small beer perhaps, but still....................
«Je suis heureux et ils le sont aussi» means select ...I am happy and they are also the reasonI am happy and they are also hereI am happy and they are tooI am happy and they are tooThis is my first time making a comment!

Is there any way to determine whether a sentence should end in a period or an exclamation point? In English, there is generally a difference in the tone of voice: a regular, matter-of-fact tone usually indicates a period, while an excited tone (angry, happy, etc.) usually indicates an exclamation point. For most of the sentences in the dictation exercises, I don't hear anything that lets me determine which one I should choose. In this exercise, the only sentence that seems to me to require an exclamation point is the very last one: « Miam ! »
