Quand le soleil retourne....

Can we substitute 'revient' with 'retourne'?

(if no 'why')

Merci

Bonjour. If I were to say "cette jupe coute 30 euros" instead of "la jupe coute 30 euros", would the exclamation then be (for example, a friend reacting to it) "c'est cher" or "elle est chere?"

I used "nous cueillions des coquillages..." and it was marked wrong. Since, 'cueillir' means 'to pick; to gather; to collect', (just as 'ramasser') would it not be equally correct in this case? Is there a significant difference between the two verbs?

Thank you for your help.

Bonne journee !

The test I have just completed had 'on est passés' - but why the 's'? Surely 'on' is masculine and so there would is no need?

I hear sept heures moins quart, not sept heures moins le quart. Which is it?

Hi,

I have read the below but it's still not clear to me. What is the difference between:

J'ai descendu les escaliers...

Je suis descendu du train...

not d'autre but une autre ville.

Please explain

Questions on ‘partir, sortir, quitter’ which comprise one, some or all answers are so inconsistent, I find it very irritating. Sometimes when I choose all three (excluding ‘laisser’ of course), only ‘partir’ is the answer deemed acceptable. sometimes, when I select ‘partir’ only, all three are given as correct. More context please.

I had a more difficult time than usual understanding some of the French in this particular exercise.  There were certain phrases or words that seemed to have a different rhythm or pronunciation to them.   Conversations between two French people are one of the most difficult things for me to understand so that may explain my problems!  However, I was curious to know if the men spoke with a regional French accent?  Thanks
