This was a question in one of the quizzes:

Il m'a offert une boîte ________ bijoux pour ranger mes colliers.

Please help for the following : 

What are the differences between these two sentences

1) Il habite à dix minutes de Marseille. 

2) Il habite à 10 min de Marseille. 

My answer was the number one, but the Kwiziq marked it wrong. 

Thank you!

Hi all, I am not getting my head around the sentence- C'est la fameuse "auberge espagnole" du titre.. why is du titre at the end. thanks 

When I take the quizzes, the answers I choose aren't the ones showing when I get the review.  It seems the quiz is changing my answers.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

Are the primary and secondary conjugations dans le présent common to one French-speaking country or another or are they newer/older versions?

How do know when to use these before the season?

Hi, one of the examples includes “ passez l’aspirateur”. Presumably this means to use the aspirateur to clean. In English we would not use the direct translation using “pass”. Most often someone would say “do the hoovering”, or possibly “use the hoover” or “use the vacuum cleaner”. I may he wrong, maybe the sentence just means “pass me the hoover (as you are holding it)” but then the example makes less sense. Does passer l’aspirateur mean to use a vacuum cleaner?
