Bonjour. çe sa? please check the above

Why is passé composé used in the first sentence, Je n’ai jamais aimé… ? If you never have liked the seaside, not before and not now, isn’t that an ongoing feeling and should therefore be in l’imparfait? Isn’t it also expressing an opinion and should be in l’imparfait?  What am I missing? 

What time does apres-midi change to soir?  When I was in West Africa and Haiti it was anytime after 12 noon, but I got those answers wrong.  I did not see a definition in the lesson.  Thanks :)

"Bien que Mateo sache déjà ce qu'il allait étudier à l'université," / "Although Mateo already knew what he was going to study at university,"

For this sentence I used the subjunctive past tense ""Bien que Mateo ait déjà su ce qu'il allait étudier à l'université," which is obviously not correct, but please can someone explain why? I assume it's because him knowing is not a single event in the past so the present subjunctive is the only alternative?

In the last sentence, why is the verb form used, nous ne serons pas pris, instead of, nous ne prendrons pas. I'm not sure what this verb tense is.

Hi, there are two options given: “lorsqu’on lui rendre visite” & “lorsque l’on lui rendre visite”. Is the extra “l” in the second one just to avoid the “qu’on” sound, or is it a pronoun with some grammatical meaning?

'la maison de poupées' is NOT 'the doll's house'.  It is 'the dolls house' or, more pedantically 'the dolls' house'

Tu es reste' enferme' ____________ une heure.  I put "pendent" which should have been "durant".  I have reviewed the lesson and can't find any distinction between pendent and durant.  What am I missing?
