Please can you explain this lesson.  Even the examples don't seem to fit the explanation

Penser que + subjunctive

How is it that Juliette says " je passe mes vacances” but then asks “ comment se passent tes vacances?” why is one reflexive and one not please?

many of my answers were right but you gave me wrong for eg i typed en haut de la tout eiffel you said en somme de la tour eiffel but here again en haut its correct you need to fix this

Hi 

Is there much difference between 'le potiron' and 'la citrouille'?  

Thanks

I've heard that both ceux(and all of its forms) and lesquels(and all of its forms) means the one. So, how do you differentiate? For example: Eva aime mes biscuits mais déteste ceux de sa tante. 

why can't I say c'etais la coup de foudre instead of c'a ete?

We can't use dans for years in terms of dates, but can we use it for years in terms of time?

E.g.: Je vais travailler dans quatre ans. (I will be working in 4 years)

Why is it incorrect to write “à deux heures de” rather than “à 2 h de?”

A French national suggests that DURANT emphasizes the such and such occurs/occurred from the very beginning of the time interval to the very end, while PENDANT does not. This seems to be the difference between "I spent the entire week doing such and such" versus "I did such and such during the week."

If that it is the case, there may be value in adding that to the lesson. I have noticed BTW that DURANT appears in conversations much less that PENDANT, perhaps because of the nuance cited above.
