I did miserably on this exercise. Seems that in progressing from B1 to B2 one faces quite a chasm. Without a bridge.

I answered the question "Elle a manqué le bus, donc elle doit ________." as aller a pied, but this was scored as incorrect. But the lesson tells me to use this when walking is CONTRASTED WITH ANOTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORT, which it seems to me is exactly the case here! 

What am I missing????

Is J'etais = Je fus? i am confused because both mean "I was"

I note the examples of needing to go shopping use 

J’ai besoin d’aller faire les courses. Je dois aller faire les courses.

Another lesson on shopping used faire les courses without a preceding “aller”. Is there a difference in meaning?b.

Peut-on utiliser série au lieu d'émission dans ce contexte ?

I decided to take a chance today and add an e on the end of "je me suis ennuyée" to see whether it would be accepted as an answer. It wasn't. It's a shame really, given that this is what those of us who are female should be writing. I suppose it would constitute a huge amount of work for Kwiziq to incorporate feminine options thoughout all the quizzes. But perhaps this could be a long-term goal?

And we cooed over all.... 

can we write et nous avons recoulé sur tous les cadeaux ?

In this sentence why is it not 'était fournie', to agree with 'une paire'?:

une paire de boules Quiès étaient fournies

This exercise is titled, Le Sun7 Beach...
It should be, Le Sunset Beach...
The same error occurs in the second phrase of the exercise.
