"Every day, they used to meet each other in secret." not accepted.

[YvonneDone1]

Yes, it seems Duo will only accept answers without 'each other'. No idea why!

Nine months later, I received this email from Duo, Nov 2, 2021:

Thank you for suggesting “Every day, they used to meet each other in secret” as a translation for “Tous les jours, ils se rencontraient en secret.”. We now accept this translation!

[YvonneDone1]

Why is 'Every day they met each other in secret' wrong?

[b_adger]

It isn't wrong, it is the exact translation of the French,

[YvonneDone1]

Yes, I reported it too. Another sentence in the same exercise had the same construction and was marked wrong when I deliberately used 'each other' in the translation into English to see whether that one would be accepted. Also reported.

Every day, they were meeting each other in secret

[Graymouse1]

It just another example of the narrowness of the folks designing the question. I account it to inexperience with English. Still, no consolation.

[Mija438073]

every day they would meet in secret - was accepted

[GraemeSarg]

That is probably the best translation here.

[Artur490514]

"every day" with past simple sounds weird

[GraemeSarg]

I don't see why.
