Kwiziq markingI was on 99.56% in A1 and am desperate to reach 100%. I got none wrong, but I accidentally missed out three questions and had 0.3% removed. I thought that wasn't supposed to happen. 0.3% is such a lot when you are nearing your diamond award. It is really difficult to reach 100% and I am nearly there, but you are not generous with your marking when someone reaches a high percentage within a level.

Why use "c'était" when referring to the TGV?

It seems it should be "il était" because you are referring specifically to the TGV, and not trains generally.

In the test it seems strange to say that "he almost wrote his report"Is this meant to refer to "who has almost finished writing his report"? Thank you!

bad questionElle pardonne à Paul et elle .....(forgives us) I thought about this question and as far as I know either elle pardonne à nous or elle nous pardonne would be correct. I chose elle pardonne à nous thinking it was parallel structure, but it was marked incorrect. Tell me how I should have known the correct response.

This is more of a comment than a question: I found it a bit frustrating that the quiz is about something other than what was just taught above. The lesson is about when to use QUI and not QUE, but the quiz requires me to also know when to use QUI and when to use CE QUI, which is taught elsewhere.

Translation: these experiences would make me...

Can I translate:

"These experiences would make me a better cook,"

"Ces expériences *me feraient* un meilleur cuisinier,"

[the given answer which I am not arguing with = "Ces expériences *feraient de moi* un meilleur cuisinier,"]

Why is there a ‘y’ in this sentence?

Il ne joue pas souvent au foot, et toi ? -Je n'y joue pas souvent non plus.

I don’t play often either.

This is one of the examples above.
