The sentence to be translated: I can listen to them for hours!

I wrote:  Je peux les écouter pendant des heures !

The exclamation mark was marked as incorrect even though it was called for in the original sentence.

I thought that "turc" referred to a Turkish man and that "turque" referred to a Turkish woman. The correct answer indicates that "turque" refers to a Turkish man. Please explain why my answer was marked as incorrect.

Bonjour,

I was wondering what do you mean by component adjectives? I see electric cable a wild animal etc but I am unsure why they are component.

Merci

WhyWhy "le premier jour de 'Hanoucca" and not "le premier jour d'Hanoucca"

why does 'and I took the opportunity to visit the Gustave Moreau museum'   answer

Kwizbot et j'en ai profité pour visiter le musée Gustave Moreau.

I don't understand!!! Help!!

Can “Ça marche géneralement plutôt bien” ( quite well) be rendered as assez bien? I e would assez bien and plutôt bien be interchangable in above sentence?

I know that this is not a question related to grammar or vocabulary, but I don't see where else to address the problem since there is no link to report an issue. 

While doing this exercise it skipped forward before I could give myself a grade. Because of this, my score was five points lower. Not a big deal, but a little discouraging, since I would have given myself a close to perfect score. Just wondering why this happens sometimes?

The son WAS born in the past?  Why then use "est né" rather that "était né"? 

I was taught that 'qui' was used when the subject of the verb and 'que' when the object of the verb

Is another translation of this: Il a abattu le parrain? My French dictionary gives the definition of abattre as `to shoot down ` or `to kill` Is there a nuance?
