Why was I marked wrong for 'S'il te plaît' and the alternative was 'S'il vous plaît'?

I know they differ in formality, but they have the same basic meaning of 'please'. Much confusion!

lesson could use a video lesson

A video lesson would be nice. It seems most of the other lessons offer at least one video as a supplemental resource. Merci.

Bonjour Madame ! I suppose ‘ne....nullepart’ and ‘ne........aucun(e)’ are pretty much exceptions to this rule ? Can this be highlighted further? Merci

Je n'en attendais pasAs Judy and Marnie ask. What does the en replace? I am assuming a structue like 'attendre qqch de qqn'. With the de vous for 'de qqn' the end. Is there an implied phrase such as 'I expected nothing less (of this service) from you'?

Y a-t-il un problème ? - Oui, il y a un problème.

When I listen to this, I'm sure I'm hearing Il Y a-t-il un problème ? - Oui, il y a un problème.

Perhaps I'm just imagining it?

Exercise: Emilie et toi ________ toujours polies. Emilie and you were always polite.

It seems to be that "Emilie et toi" = "vous," you plural => 2nd person plural verb.

But the right answer was a third person plural verb.
