      I didn't notice the question mark and simply stated "We write in centimetres or kilometres" and was marked correct! Oops!

          That might be because there was no Italian word to be translated as 'this'.

            Nihou is probably correct - it could also be that in correct English, questions are always begun with certain words: Do, How (many), Can, Where, May, When, Why, etc. etc.

                I wrote - Will we write in centimeters or kilometers - and it was marked wrong. This was much closer to being correct than some than I've got away with

                I think the problem is that it's not future in Italian.
