It asked two questions, I got both correct. Why does this say I'm at 41%?

Puisque /parce queIn writing challenge A2 week 49 (?late March 2017) it says: - They're very expensive, these phones! - Yes, granny but it's because you can go on the internet --> Oui, mamie. mais c'est parce qu'on peut aller sur internet. Since mamie already knows the phones are expensive, shouldn't it be "puisqu'on peut" ?

Late or early in FrenchWhat is used most often in French, the “être” expression or the “avoir” expression? The “avoir” expression sounds like an intangible expression of quantity, j’ai deux bouteilles de lait mais j’ai deux heures de retard ou deux heures d’avance.

'tout' (everything) vs 'tous' or 'toutes' (all of them)'Tout' ('too') means 'everything, and its pronunciation must be distinguished from: 'Tous' ('toos') and 'toutes' ('toot') mean all of them. With these ('all of them') Here, there are 2 cases: 1. when used as the noun: (tous etaient content - all of them were happy-'toos'); 2. when used as an adjective of the noun 'they' (as in 'they all' or 'they were ll'): (ils etaient tous content - they were all happy - 'too') The weird one is 'ils l'ont tous eu' - they all passed - by the rule 'tous' should be pronounced 'too', but is pronounced 'toos' because of liaison. Is this correct?

Perfect infinitive vs Après queDoes the sentence "Après qu'il a quitté la soirée, Eric est rentré chez lui" mean the same as "Après avoir quitté la soirée, Eric est rentré chez lui." Is using "après que" an easier way to say the same thing?

Qui or que?In the example above "...lui souffle la romance/qu'il chantait petit enfant, oh!" Isn't the "qu" there standing for que, not qui? Thank you in advance.

two questionswhy "la Saint-Patrick" and not "le jour de Saint-Patrick?" Saint Patrick is masculine as is "jour" however in the answer it is feminine. And could "feter" be used instead of "celebrer" Thank you Christine Clegg

Why is quand on ouvre les cadeaux ? marked correct? if I were to read Quand on ouvre les cadeaux I would not expect to have a question mark at the end but a following clause. when I open the presents..... I understand that this perhaps is a very informal spoken form for a question where the question is shown by intonation. BUT in this kwiz it was a written question and not a spoke question. For this reason I feel it not right that not marking this phrase as right gives a nearly correct reponse. Ok it is good to realise that there are different levels of french usage , but where is the indictaion in the written form that it was a question, other that the question mark.
