 In the following question the answer is given as 'plus d'argent que' having de before plus doesn't sound right to me, can someone explain please.

J'ai besoin de ________ l'année dernière pour produire l'exposition.

I need more money than last year to produce the exhibition.

In "I went online to find tapas recipes" shouldn't the verb for find be chercher rather than (or at least as well as)  trouver?

In the quiz, one of the question was translating ''Nous ne sommes pas arrivés depuis longtemps.''

I selected "We din't arrive for long" which is marked wrong. 

The right answer was "We haven't been there long". Doesn't this sentence mean "we have just arrived"?

If so, in the lesson, Ne ... pas + Passé composé + depuis longtemps = not in a long time. 

Aren't these contradicting. Can someone explain or clarify please. Thanks.

how do you say to layer the hair? 

Why is it that "délicieuses" is plural, in agreement with "moules", and not with "l'air"?

in this text it said 'I explained to her', which I would have thought was 'Je lui ai expliqué' but no.

so, when to use (for example)

j'avais expliqué 

j'expliquais 

1. Can we use des salades mélangées instead of des salades compasées?

2. Can we use glaces instead glaçons? I looked it up on Google translate. Glaçons means ice cubes while glaces means simply ice. Wouldn't it be better to use the more general word ice? 

Can “ce qui déroulera” be used here, or does this verb mean “unwind” only in a more literal sense (e.g. unwind a reel of cable)? 

Why oh why don't you have an app?
