Hello,

I am doing the A1 reading passage for the Cher journal and the sentence I'm confused on is. Il me reste des crosissants du weekend. 

I know il me reste is a direct object sentence but not sure how the meaning of the word reste is used here.

I think it means he has leftover croissants?

Thanks

Nicole

In the phrase 'ils se sont donné le mot' why is donné not plural ?

"qui nous permettent entre autres de dater précisément des pigments."

Could you please explain why 'nous permettent' is used in the above sentence and not 'nous permettons'

Thank you 

Why can’t merci de  venir be translated as thanks for coming?

Is there a reason "he'll be back" is translated once as "il sera de retour" and once as "il sera revenu"? Or are they simply alternatives?

Hi, why in this phrase  (le tatin de légumes) they used ´de and not aux légumes? 

What is the reason why the repeat the words like vous in "vous vous appelez?" Is there any history about it? Im just curious, thank you.
