Could clouer and enfoncer be used interchangeably here or is there a subtle difference ?

Hi,

" D'ailleurs, ça me rappelle que Paul m'avait prêté un livre passionnant que j'ai toujours chez moi ! - Tu ne les as pas revus depuis tout ce temps ? - Non, et du coup, je n'ai pas encore pu le lui rendre ! "

In this sentence I put "je ne suis pas encore arrivé à le lui rendre !" which I think works as well?

To piggyback on the question below, sort of, I have heard & read the use of garder to describe babysitting children, par exemple: "Nous gardons les enfants ici." This obviously doesn't mean that they are physically keeping possession of the kids there, like prisoners (although the kids may think so). Is this one of those instances where context is everything or is it incorrect usage?

This page would be much more useful if it listed the conjugations.

Thank you

Can someone explain why this is the case? Why the "on" form for "nous"? Thanks!
