The question that led me here asked to fill in the proper tense of the verb ‘venir’ in this sentence:  Il______heir.  I wrote ‘Il est venu heir.’ The correction said the correct answer was Il sont venu. Wouldn’t the ‘sont’ tense be used instead for the third person plural (ils)?

To say in/during the afternoon, we use "dans"? (ex. Il y aura un vent frais dans l'après-midi). To say in/during the morning or evening, we don't use a preposition, correct? (ex. Je vais au marché le matin/ce matin).

Merci de m’avoir fait découvrir ce site vraiment amusant. J’y suis abonnée. : ) 

Bonjour - what purpose does the “le” in this exercise sentence have?

 Nous paraissons plus jeunes que nous le sommes.

When do you use "que" and when do you use "dont"?

In the sentence, "De plus, l'aspect défi de cette initiative permet de déstigmatiser la non-consommation d'alcool...", I don't understand 'l'aspect défi'.  In my dictionary, aspect and défi are both nouns, aspect and challenge respectively.  Can you first translate and then explain?  Thanks.

Can 'les gosses' be used here instead of 'les enfants' for 'the kids' ?

Why does impressioné have another 'e' on the end. Is it because the speaker is feminine?

j'ai mangé pendant une heure vs j'ai mangé en une heure.

Do they have the same meaning: I ate within one heure?

Thanks.

I'm confused because on many other sites I see both these used as conditionnel. E.g., J'avais pu = I had been able to/could have

Si tu avais pu, tu aurais fait = If you could have, you would have.

Please explain.
