a century is made of hundred years was considered wrong by Duo

a century is a hundred years

A century makes a hundred years makes no sense, a hundred years makes a century should be accepted

Why are we using the verb « faire » here? Why not « avoir » ? "Un siècle a cent années" ?

"A century consists of 100 years" was rejected though it seems to be valid in English. I guess it is just impossible to think of every possible translation.

Can someone explain to me why you use ans sometimes, and années other times?

I wrote "a century makes a hundred years" knowing it was wrong, but it was accepted.

100 years make a century --- was my answer, that was rejected. !! (

A century is hundred years was rejected. The answer suggests I should have written "100" instead of "hundred". Come on Duo... Smarten up..

I guess you could look at this like "one tree makes a hundred park benches"

Would "Cent années fait un siècle"? sound weird to French ears?

Why "années" and not "ans"? Here the duration of the years is not important, but the number of years. I don't get it.

Shouldn't the L in siècle be pronounced?

I knew it was a century makes 100 years but that's not how we say it in english so i put a century is made of 100 years and it was wrong.

Because "cent" preceeds a vowel shouldn't the "t" be pronounced?

I thought of about five different possible english ways to say this and tried "A century lasts one hundred years" which, as it happened, was not in the list of correct translations. They can't list them all but I agree that "A century maks a hundred years" is simply wrong in english.

Why is " a century makes hundred years" wrong

In English: "A century takes a hundred years".

No native speaker would ever say this sentence

why we use "années" I've thought we use "ans" with numbers

A century is 100 years is also correct

Can it be " Un siecle a cent annees"?
