I understand that une soirée indicates the duration of the evening, while un soir indicates the general time of day, but given this is a Level 1 quiz, is that not a bit advanced for this level? As far as I recall the only context given in Level one for "une soirée" was for an evening function or party. I was marked wrong for using choisissez rather than choisis, presumably because choisissez is too advanced for this level?

Une soirée vs un soir?

Hi Gilberts,
1. Both soirée and soir are accepted for -
'This is special evening for me.'
2. choisissez is wrong as it was
I choose a few movies
Hope this helps!
Careful with the verb forms of choisir:
Je choisis -- (1st person singular, present tense)
Vous choisissez -- (2nd person plural, present tense)
Je choisissais -- (1st person singular, imperfect tense)
Vous choisissiez -- (2nd person plural, imperfect tense)
