When using the preposition pour. In this sentence pour nous deux, Marianne et moi. Why does it mean for both of us I know pour means for but I don't know why deux means both.

Thanks

Minikwiz Mistake?

Pardon for asking, but it states 'Elizabeth deux vient en France' in one of the Minikwizes for this lesson. I'm assuming she WENT to France, not came from [ in ? ] France. It makes no sense to me, but, to be honest, I had to do the country preposition lessons so many times it wasn't even funny. Perhaps I am being stupid, or perhaps I am just railing against my own inadequacies, but, To you I pose this question good sir or madame.

The example shows en/de used for sac ___ cuir but when I chose de on the quiz, I got it wrong. Pourquoi?

21,31,41,51,61,71 - tous avec un trait d'union?

I've noticed that 71 above has no hyphens: soixante et onze. So is it just the numbers 21,31,41,51,61 that do have hyphens? Or does 71 have hyphens just when there are higher numbers, e.g. 171?

Merci d'avance!

I don't understand. Partis doesn't look like present of partir to me. I am confused.

The term shy. The dictionary suggests “farouche” for animals, yet here “timide” is used. Is this because C is a pet and a more personal shy applies ?
