I’m vs kilometres

I was marked “almost right” when I used ‘kilometres’ instead of ‘km’. Do you always abbreviate distances?

This question relates to:French lesson "Expressing distance in French with "à ... de ..." = (at) ... km from ... (French Prepositions)"

Bonjour Marnie !

I've had a look at your Correction Board, and Chris's intuition was right: you forgot the accent on "kilometres", hence the Nearly Correct mark :)

When reporting about specific scoring issues, please use the "Report it" button in your Correction Board, which sends us a link straight to the question you're referring to :)

Bonne journée !

Are you sure you spelled it correctly (kilomètres)?
