Answer should be in conditional tense?

In the excersise 'If I could start over' I translated the phrase 'I would buy a house in the country' as 'J'acheterais une maison dans la campagne' and I got the following correction from Kwizbot: 'J'achèterai une maison à la campagne,' I know I didn't get the accent or preposition right, but why is the Kwizbot answer giving the verb in future tense instead of in the present conditional?

Going to the next lesson or a specific number lesson

I am not doing the lessons in order but just looking them up for more for information in addition to what I am studying in class.

So say I am reading lesson 424 on passé composé, I have finished the 2 question quiz and then I want to go the next lesson....number 425...how do I get there? 

If I type "Lesson 425" in the search box, it does not give me the option for that lesson.

Thank you in advance for your answer.

"I would buy a house in the contryside"The sentence "I would buy a house in the countryside" is in one of the writing tests. The translation given by kwizbot is: J'achèterai une maison à la campagne which, I believe is incorrect. It ought to be "achèterais", i.e., the conditionel.

Question about translation:Why, in todays first writing challenge, is the translation for "and I looked at my feet"... et je regarde MES pieds? Shouldn't it be LES pieds?

audio"Faites-la sortir avant qu'elle ne fasse un scandale." It was one of the test questions. The audio seems off to me at "fasse un". There's no reporting button for check audio (and anyway maybe I'm wrong).

Si clauseThe phrase “if you could run” uses L’imparfait. But the phrase “if you run” uses the present tense. Could you explain this difference to me? Thanks.

Hi, In the examples above, 'j'aime Paris' means 'I lové Paris'. If 'j'aime beaucoup Paris' means 'I like Paris a lot', them how do you say plain old 'I like Paris'?
