In this sentence - 'William Jones déclarait au sujet de cette langue ancestrale : "La langue sanscrite...' - why is the imperfect used with an action that happened only once, and on a specified date ?
The lesson doesn't say if it's okay to replace the pronouns un & autre with subject nouns. E.g for: 'Neither Julien nor Sophie can come.' can you say 1) 'Ni Julien ni Sophie ne peuvent venir.' ? or do you have to say 2)'Julien et Sophie ne peuvent venir, ni l'un ni l'autre' or how about 3) 'Ils ne peuvent venir, ni Julien ni Sophie.' ? Or are all three okay?
Selon Tom, elles seraient rentrées chez elles vers 3h.

The French sounds as if it should be translated as the time they "got home" whereas the English "went home" implies it is the time they left -- time travel ?
