Is teh below wrong?
Quand est-ce qu'on va arrivés ?

Hi
In the this expression: 'mes aisselles, que je trouve bizarrement immenses, émettent une fragrance des plus rances', why is des plus rances expressed as plural. I would have thought that the object it relates to is 'une fragrance' and not 'mes aisselles'. I'm guessing that it is plural because it relates to 'mes aisselles', but I would have thought that 'une fragrance' is a closer object.
Thanks

when the "re" comes before the verbs(for example redonner) does it give the verbs the meaning of again and back everytime? or does it change according to the verbs?
for example:
Je lui ai redonné son style: I gave back him his pen(?)
Je lui ai redonné mon stylo: I gave him my pen again(?)
thanks for comments
C’était un peu du n’importe quoi- why isn’t it “c’était un peu de n’importe quoi “ ? I always thought that de was used after a quantity ?
Why isn't 'une form d'identité' correct?
In the end-of-lesson full text to read and listen to the first sentence of the text reads "J'adore habiter au..." but the audio says "J'aime habiter dans la...".
