In one quiz (Kwiz) I was asked to translate "five thirty AM" I wrote "cinq heures trente" assuming the 24 hour clock. This was apparently wrong because apparently we were talking about a 12 hour clock.
In the very next quiz (Kwiz) I was asked to translate "ten minutes to seven AM" so I wrote "sept heures moins dix du matin" which was also wrong because we were now apparently talking about the 24 hour clock (not apparently for any other reason).
Would it be possible to tell us whether we were talking about 12 or 24 hours on the clock?
My natural presumption is for 24 unless otherwise specified.
What exactly does this phrase mean? I translate something like "Like a good granny cake". What is a granny cake?
Why can’t you use “de bonne heure” for “early” instead of “en avance”?
This was my question, then I answered 'Annie a gagné dix milliers d'euros'.
The system did not accept it. ..okay, maybe I wrote dix milliers de euros - instead of d'.. I guess that was the problem.
However, the explanation I had, was 'Annie a gagné dix mille euros'.
Can I also use the other option above, 'dix milliers d'euros'?
Merciiiiii

''Tom et Paula se sont embrassés devant le miroir.'' can mean:Tom and Paula kissed each other in front of the mirror.Tom and Paula kissed him in front of the mirror.Tom and Paula kissed themselves in front of the mirror.
Is this correct?

Sorry, but I have absolutely no idea what "for a usage" actually means in the context of an adjective. Can someone very kindly clarify ?
