All three sample sentences for this usage seem freighted with disappointed expectations! Is this the way it’s normally used or just a coincidence?

How to say "I will arrive": j'arrive or je va arrive?

“On vous appellera quand on arrive” would be considered an acceptable, if casual sentence, as opposed to “on vous appellera quand on arrivera” which is a bit clunky, no?

Hello and good day all. The way to conjugate “All the tickets have been sold” as either « Tous les tickets sont vendus » or « Tous les tickets ont été vendus » confuses me. I understand the first but don’t understand the second. Thanks in advance.

My preferred dictionary, Wordreference, distinguishes a car door from an ordinary door in using the word, portière.   Should it not be accepted ? 

In another French course, some years ago, I was given the sentence :

"Ça fait trois ans que je l'ai, et je n'ai pour ainsi dire pas eu d'ennui avec."

This appears to end with a preposition.  Is it wrong?

Hi,  my kwizbot it is telling my that in this example,”Cette maison est bien. - Oui, elle est ________ l'autre.” 

the correct answe is “mieux.” Why? Doesn’t mieux modify a verb? Here were modifying a noun (maison), so it should be “meilleur” by all logic, so why is the correct answer “mieux”? 

In the lesson on the passé composé of vouloir it says:

Does the same apply to the Plus-que-Parfait?

Bonjour!

What is the meaning of half-sister and half-brother in English ?

English: I knew who was invited, but I didn't know the other details.

French: Je savais qui était invité, mais je ne connaissais pas les autres détails.

I got this wrong.  My thinking was that 'who' was a direct object and a person or persons, therefore connaître.   I would have used connaître in the second part, again détails is the direct object, but I was influenced by my error in the first use of 'to know '; hence I chose savoir.  Please explain why the first calls for savoir.   Thanks.
