If a tangerine is "une mandarine" in French, as per this lesson, what is a mandarin in French? Is it "une tangerine"?  (which would be quite confusing to English speakers)

What is meant by ..."qui a su conquérir les petits comme les grands" ?

The sentence :

Je suis aussi allé acheter une nouvelle bibliothèque que j’ai passé plus de deux heures à monter.

The hint given was ‘la bibliothèque’.

I took this to mean that passé should agree with bibliothèque and wrote passée.

I was using the rule for the ‘case of subordinate clauses with que’. Why am I wrong here?

Why is "j'ai regardé dans le frigo" not accepted ? 

Hey! I answered a question (correctly) and in the results, they said I had unanswered it? What is going on with these tests? Hope you answer soon!

I find that in many of the lessons, the synonyms are often not taken as an alternative. For example "des fois" was not taken as correct for "sometimes". Another example, "cueillir" was marked wrong for "picking", and an alternative "ramasser" was suggested as a correct answer. I'd suggest to expand the choices of synonyms. 

Hi. I thought negative opinions were followed by the subjunctive  and translated the above sentence thus: Je ne pensais pas que ce soit si intéressant.  Is that incorrect?

Thanks

Why does visite sometimes have an acute accent on the end, other times it doesn't?
