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)

etre vs d'etre

Hi,

I was wondering why is it "je suis fière d'être utile" rather than "je suis fière être utile". Would it be incorrect to ommit the 'd'' in this case?

Thanks,

Martina

Why isn't the answer feminine?Tu es allée au cinéma après ________ pour ton exam. You went to the cinema after studying for your exam.(HINT: Use "réviser")
I answered "avoir révisée" because "tu es allée" tells me tu is feminine but the correct answer given is "avoir revise".

Shampoo and shampoo bottle

Checking a couple of points

Both 'shampoing' and 'shampooing' are formally accepted and used spellings, but the latter is being 'corrected' to the former here.

A 'bottle' of shampoo is mostly advertised and sold as 'un flacon' - ' j'ai fini le flacon ' is not accepted as correct though.
