My immediate instinct was to use "Attention ! Le mélange ne devrait pas trop chaud," but it was marked incorrect. In this particular context, is there a hard reason why it is better to use "Le mélange ne doit pas être trop chaud" instead? 

I am going to be fitted with hearing aids today. It is interesting that i heard surclassement as surplacement (which isn't even apparently a word). Surclassement - upgrade - is a new word to me today! Yay.  I guess this level is still very easy for me. Also, I am on a Macbook Air, which means for whatever reason that I am getting both YOUR popup menu for accents, and the one that is inherent in the Mac. That's why the first part of this exercise, the accent came out wrong. I guess I need to slow down and review what I've typed, even when I think I typed it correctly.  But I would like to know if I can supress your popup accent menu.

Thanks.

do we always use depuis with the present tense? or can it be used with the past/future tense

Even though I've read and practiced a lot with them, I still can distinguish which is which, why in this story "Je voulais les garder" but not "J'ai voulu les garder". Please help me!

Fish which Japanese people love (raffoler de) are becoming extinct.

Les poissons dont les japonais raffolent de sont en voie de disparition.

Why is the sont conjugated as well, I thought two verbs couldn't follow each other in conjugated form. I though that one needed to be in infinif form. 

Hello,
How do you determine when "prochain/e" goes before vs after the noun? I remember reading in one lesson that it goes after the noun (for example, "le weekend prochain" or  "l'hiver prochain") but in this exercise it goes before the noun "les prochaines vacances."
