    I got nailed for translating it as What time do you close? instead of "At what time..." Really?

      I am reporting it because we do not use the 'at' in common spoken English.

      LOL and here it is FOUR YEARS LATER and it hasn't been fixed. Reporting it although honestly I don't know why.

      What time do you close is perfectly acceptable. Too inflexible, Duolingo!

        I think "shut" is an acceptable synonym for "close".

          In English we do not always say "at" what time.

            I used shut instead of close which was wrong. Why?

            See above but I don't agree. I think shut is the same as close in English

            This (the superfluous use of "at") was reported in 2014. Yet four years later, nothing has changed. I guess it's true that with AI there is truly nobody home.

            Exactly. Reporting it yet again.
