I used period as a thousands separator and was marked wrong
Yet, as the lesson says, period may be less frequejntly used than space but it is also correct.
This question relates to:French lesson "Writing decimal numbers in French"
Asked 6 years ago
Hi Linda,
You were marked wrong because decimal points are expressed by using commas (virgules) in French , not periods or spaces.
Hope this helps!

Hi Cecile, Yesi it was a specific quiz. It is hard to find since I may have done 50 quizzes since then. The system does not make it easy to query about a specific question. If you start from the Report Issue button for the question you get a reply eventually saying that the person replying is not a French expert and you need to do it in the context of a lesson. If you ese Exlain first to get the lesson and click the Discuss button in a lesson you no longer have the question and answer that took you there.

I had this problem as well on the Micro Kwiz test: Writing decimal numbers in French. I got marked wrong for choosing the space instead of a period.
