All of the examples with du chocolat or du cafe translate as some chocolate or some coffee, but in my kwiz it has it listed as nearly correct. I don't really care about the points, but it's confusing for the quiz to not line up with the lesson.

Why is fut used in the above, rather than était.To the best of my knowledge, we have not been introduced to the Historic?

Hi when I create a notebook I'm asked if I want it to be made public or not. Where can I find these public notebooks?

Thanks, Jeramy

With regard to “avec nos lèvres gercées, notre chair de poule constante et nos nez écarlates !”

As people have one nose each, should this be “… et notre nez écarlate !”?

J'ai mangé trois mangues.

If ' trois mangues ' is underlined >> Je l'ai mangée.

If only  ' mangues ' is underlined >> J'en ai mangé trois. 

Is this correct? Or do we always use en whether the number is underlined or not.

In the 90s, several rap groups released songs that included the repeated refrain "Whoop/Whoot there it is!"  This would often be played during sporting events, especially basketball, as a way to celebrate scoring a goal. Is the French "ça y est" similarly celebratory?  Is it ever associated with scoring a goal at a sporting event?  

I think I've finally gotten the "ce qui" vs "ce que" vs. "qui/e" down, but I'm utterly confused about when "quoi" is used.  When I see "what is," I invariably think "quoi," but I'm usually wrong.  The best rule I've determined is to use "quoi" with an infinitive, "je ne sais pas quoi faire," but is that really it for "quoi"?  Thanks!

Should je suis toujours anxieux also be an accepted answer compared to je suis toujours nerveux? Or perhaps anxieux is considered more a medical condition and too strong in this context? 

I am not sure if this is perhaps different with American English but as someone from the UK this sounds like Anne and Antoine are in the process of going somewhere to walk their dog e.g. in their car driving to a forest.  It does not imply that they are in the process of actually walking their dog.  I agree that there is a subtlety specifically with the question which is that the phrase includes "with their dog" but the "are going for" implies that they are not actually yet walking their dog but intend to go for a walk with their dog.  For instance if I were to say "I am going shopping to buy some food" it means that I am not actually in the process of doing the shopping.  Can you please clarify if "se promènent" is the actual current act of doing something or describing the intention to do the act?
