Could you have "Vous nous accompagnerez la prochaine fois"? as well as "Vous viendrez avec nous.."?

Thanks

In this example Je vois un soleil jaune et une fleur jaune. the pronounciation of the word jaune is very different for the first and second occurence. The first one is pronounced with an e almost like jauné, while the second one has a silent e like jaun.

Is the word pronounced differently depending on the gender, is the speech broken (it sounds very robotic), or is it pronounced differently depending on what word it comes before in the sentence (here ... jaune et ...)? 

I wrote cannelle  for cinnamon and was marked wrong  and changed to canelle, but in the dictionary it is spelt cannelle. Which is correct??

Pourquoi on ne peut pas écrire?

1)Après être séparé au lieu de après s’être séparé. Dans la premiere option est-ce qu'il faut un objet....après être séparé de .... qqchose

2)six mois avant au lieu de six mois plus tôt?

3)That was the last time we played matchmakers

   j'ai ecrit

   c’était la dernière fois qu'on a joué les matchmakers.(c'est acceptable??)

Merci .

When looking around on the internet, it seems like "Retourner" is used here and there, both informal on message boards and formal on shopping sites (for example H&M website: "POUR RETOURNER UN ACHAT EN LIGNE"), for indicating returning an item.

Could you elaborate on this and why you write "Retourner never means to return (something) in the context of a shop for example." ?

All of this is in the present (with the exception of one other passe compose (a dish that i've tasted) & one subjunctive).   Why is the sentence "I really feel like I am travelling to the Roaring Twenties" translated using passe compose?

My first thought was that the narrator in this sentence moved into a memory, hence the past--that is, she once HAD that impression when in Paris.  But, the same could be said for other sentences: "What I like above all, (it) is the relaxed atmosphere . . "   It seems all of these sentences relate an ongoing feeling or attitude toward La brasserie La Coupole, so I don't understand why the passe compose is used in this sentence.
