Why "you go there!" is marked wrong with "Vas-y"?

Hi team. Wondering why only "Go there!" is the only answer. "You go there!" should be correct, too?

Why is there a question with "ne" example: "Anne NE joue pas au basket."

When this topic is about not using "ne" why does the question use "ne"?

Bad software

I'm pretty sure that the quiz got the question on "vert" wrong. Could you please check that out?

Elle peut le déciderSorry to add to an already long discussion. I’m having difficulty with the sentence below, which directs to this page though it isn’t one of the ones given here.
- Oui, elle peut ___[le]_____ décider car l'égalité homme-femme fait partie des valeurs essentielles de la République.
Yes, it can decide it, for gender equality is part of the Republic's essential values.(HINT: "decide it" = to deny French nationality to someone who doesn't respect gender equality ) -
Firstly, I’m not sure why "elle" is used, unless it’s to expand something already mentioned, eg "une élection"?Secondly, does "décider" refer to a denial that’s already been mentioned? In English to decide an election / an issue is neutral, it doesn’t imply denial or approval.

Prenait vs. prendraitWhy doesn't, "She would wear it all the time" not translate to "Elle le prendrait tout le temps"? 'Would wear' is the conditional tense, no? Thank you.

Missing audio

Hi, just to make you aware, the audio for “remplacez-le juste par une cuillère à café de miel” only says “remplacez-le juste”.
