Why is it 'on en achètera une fois qu'on sera arrivés" and Not 'on en achètera une fois qu'on arrivera"

I don’t understand why you say ‘soit du fromage’ but not ‘soit du travail’

Hi It seems a spelling mistake with the below statement "L'épicier pèse les légumes, puis nous les repesons" I dont thing an verb have "repesons" as it's conjugation, please clarify.

Lovely resource, really impressed by the thought that's gone into this and the ease of use. I just got C1 on self test but less than half marks on the written exercise, confirming that written French is where I need to up my game!

I've been taught this phrase in another course but never really understood its use -  ça y est. It was presented to me as one of those catchall phrases for "yes, that's right!", "yeah, that's it" as a somewhat utterance one makes to ones self (or to others) that you've been suddenly successful at something or an acknowledgment that you're at least on the right track. So I used this here instead of "c'est ça". Did I use it correctly? I actually had "c'est ça" first but then I changed it to see if I had actually finally found a way to use "ça y est" correctly.

(By the way, why can't I use the hold down the keyboard trick to apply accents, etc in this Q & A box? I have to admit it prevents me oftentimes from asking questions since I can't be precise.)

Hi I have two questions regarding the phrase 'on n'est pas secoués dans tous les sens'.  

1.  why is there an 'e' on the end of secoué?  I would have thought that it should be the third person singular of 'on'.

2.  What is the meaning of 'secoué dans tous les sens'?  Does it mean 'shaken about all over the place'?
