Would you be so kind as to explain what "fait une tete de plus que Marie" and "a gagne haut la main" mean.  I tried to look them up but to no avail.  I think I understand them in context, but would like a bit better understanding.  Thank you!!  I did try to click on the phrases in question but nothing appeared; it would be helpful if, once the test were completed, that mechanism worked on the dictees as well.  Is that possible to fix???

If these phrases have the same meaning, as noted in the lesson, why was answer deemed incorrect?

Just fyi, the translation of “N’oublie pas de remuer” reads “N’oublie pas de remuer” instead of “Don’t forget to stir”.

Is it not necessary to have a verb to accompany the adjective for l'autre ? 

In a question it was used : "Ils sont différents: l'un est petit et l'autre est grand."  

In the example it wasn't :Tom et Maxime sont très différents: l'un est calme et l'autre (   ) hyperactif. 

Is there a distinction? 

Hi, just to make you aware, the audio for “remplacez-le juste par une cuillère à café de miel” only says “remplacez-le juste”. 

I was expecting to see “j’ai encore retardée mes achats” because the speaker is female. Does the exercise use “retardé” because the object of this part of the sentence is “achats” (a masculine noun), and not the female speaker?

"Je n'ai jamais rien dit!" is an example sentence, and there is a quiz question that tests this.

Just wondering if there is a rule explaining why it is incorrect to say "Je n'ai jamais dit rien!" ?
