I'm a bit confused by the meaning of this sentence (the temporality). If it refers to a one time thing (not a habit) then is it referring to future actions ? i.e. is it an equivalent of "I will make the bed once you have gotten up ?"  Or does it mean that I am right now doing the bed but I have started some time in the past after you have already gotten out of bed ?

For the phrase "undeniable advantages" I used the adjective "incontestables" and this was marked wrong.  Could I not use this word, in this context?  Thank you.

What is the real difference between "de plus" and "en plus"?  In this writing exercise, the English word "plus" is translated as "en plus,"  "in addition" is translated as "de plus," and "besides" is also "de plus."

Like some others I find this lesson confusing in parts, mainly because in English neither ‘waiting for’ nor ‘expecting’ have intrinsically positive or negative connotations; they’re neutral (IMHO after speaking English for 70 years). So if some uses of attendre do have emotional connotations that needs spelling out. But not if it is ‘usually (but not always)’ positive or negative, that doesn’t help. Surely the context will tell us what the emotional content is, if any? Merci

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)
