You're probably making other mistakes that aren't obvious and Duolingo's default translation just happens to use the other form. That used to happen to me all the time too, but if you install Duolingo Solution Viewer, it gives you a "closest solution" and a list of acceptable solutions so you can check what you got wrong in a LOT more detail. That said, Duo also gets a ton of things wrong. For example I had a sentence "The richer you are, the more you pay taxes" and I translated it using «on» (people in general) but it only accepted «tu/vous» (a particular person(s)). It doesn't even make sense in English cause "the more you pay taxes" means you pay taxes _more frequently_ while I think it meant a higher amount, i.e. "the more you pay *in* taxes" or "the more tax you pay".
This video deserves more views 🫶🏽✨
Great vid 👍🏽
4:49 I’m currently on section 5 in Duolingo French. They fuck me over with the tu vs vous form all the time. It enrages me

Idk but maybe it was because of ici vs là
