Can you have "je courrai sur le tapis roulant pour une demie heure" because its the future tense?

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.

Hi. There used to be a button to repeat the exercise once you'd finished it? At this level it's really useful to be able to do that.

Where is the “Jargon Busters” referred to in the top of the lesson?

Pourquoi est-ce qu'on écrit "ma sœur ou moi allumions une bougie à tour de rôle" C'est seulement une des sœurs qui fait la tâche.. donc , logiquement "allumer" serait au singulier???????

Why the conditional, auraient, here?  Why not the pluperfect similar to pouvaient?

Les vampire ont des longues dents pointues.  Il y a des adjectives avant et après le nom dents. Pourquoi?

"C'est une petite lampe de bureau en forme de phare breton. "

"C'est très joli ! " 

I am reading

"C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French

Based on that,  I am thinking this:  we have a specific item here, not a general subject like "La science", 

so  we can't use 2a - c'est  for general, unspecific statements and opinions

so why isn't it using : 2b "il est/elle est  for statements and opinions related to specific things"

= Elle est très jolie.

Thanks Paul.

The English text said every six weeks, which would mean once in six weeks right? Should it not be une fois par 6 semaines?

Why is it singular for "globe oculaire?"  The English phrase would seem to be "in the shape of eye balls" since glaçons is plural.  It would be a bit strange to write in English "eye ball shaped ice cream scoops."  There are just too many qualifiers of scoops, IMHO.
