In the sentence '80.000 tonnes de cassoulet en conserve sont consommés chaque année' shouldn't 'tonnes' agree with 'consommés' ?

Hello, I have a technical question. Why aren’t these called possessive pronouns? Is the term interchangeable with possessive adjectives? It’s been a long time since I’ve been in school, but I don’t remember the term “possessive adjectives” at all.  Thank you.

Please can someone explain why this isn’t ‘toutes simples?’

Merci!

Would it be appropriate to use "génial" as a translation of "nice!"?

Quand est utilisee avec , pourquoi est-il que le verbe (e.g. arrive) n'est pas forme avec le E femenin??? (Pardon la faute d'accents!) Merci!

I presume it’s the speaker, but the speaker sounds female. 

Why is étrange before the noun here? In the other example answers, it comes after.

Hello,

Can you help me understand the use of "en" and "y" as replacement pronouns in the sentence "J'en profiterai pour y aller avec lui"? I understand the general rules as explained in the lessons, but in this case I don't understand why they are both being applied. Wouldn't you just use "y" here to replace "la banque" ? Why are both "en" and "y" used? 

Thank you.

Je rends souvent service à mes amis- what does it mean? Can you explain, please?
