Lesson 7 of the french course of Mova's primary school, as Mova's small model took its tests: it had read this lesson and the ones before it and learned from their exercises. Each test shows the options in the order the student saw them, its choice, the right answer, the score of every option and why it chose. The lesson itself, sentence by sentence with trees and pragmatics: [the lesson in the corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/french/7-numbers-21-to-69/).

<!-- .vabout -->
Every question of this lesson and each of its options parsed by Mova, with trees and pragmatics: [the lesson's questions in the corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/questions/french/7-numbers-21-to-69/).

<!-- .q -->
Daniel moans, "Why's 21 got 'and' in it? Man, that's canny daft." ("Canny" means very.) What's the rule?

- **1.** Only 21 uses et, because it is the first of the twenties — score 3
- **2.** 21, 31, 41, 51 and 61 use et un; others use a hyphen — **← Mova's choice** · **✓ the right answer** · score 6
- **3.** It is a typo; French teachers argue about it a lot — no support
- **4.** Every number in the twenties uses et, like vingt et deux — no support

<!-- .why -->
**Why:** It took the question to ask why something happens (its cause). It chose option 2 with score 6, against 3 for the next best. Its support: lesson 7, line 8: «21, 31, 41, 51 and 61 use et un: vingt et un, trente et un, quarante et un, cinquante et un, soixante et un.», reached through the option's own match among the sentences about the question's things. What matched: the same action «use» (+2); the same doer «21» (+2); the same thing acted on «et un» (+2). · [the question and its options parsed, with trees and pragmatics](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/questions/french/7-numbers-21-to-69/t1/)
